To initiate an intervention the nurse must be competent in three areas, which include:

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Initiating interventions requires competence in knowledge (understanding the intervention's basis, e.g., why a drug works), function (applying it practically, e.g., administering it correctly), and specific skills (technical proficiency, e.g., IV insertion). This trio ensures safe, effective action e.g., giving insulin requires knowing its effects, how to deliver it, and injection technique. Experience and advanced education enhance competence but aren't core areas; they build on knowledge and skills. Skills, finances, and leadership are disjointed finances aren't a clinical competency, and leadership is broader than intervention execution. Leadership, autonomy, and skills mix role attributes with ability, missing function's practical focus. Knowledge, function, and specific skills form the essential framework for nurses to act confidently and competently, aligning with standards for intervention delivery in patient care.
