Question 1 of 5
The planning step of the nursing process includes which of the following activities?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The planning step of the nursing process involves setting goals and selecting interventions. This step is crucial in developing a care plan for the patient. Setting goals helps to establish what the desired outcomes of the nursing care should be, while selecting interventions involves determining the appropriate actions that need to be taken to achieve those goals. Assessing and diagnosing are part of the initial steps in the nursing process, while evaluating goal achievement and performing nursing actions and documenting them are steps that come after the planning phase.
