Question 1 of 5
A patient who is hospitalized for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease wants to go home. The nurse and the patient discuss the patient's situation and decide that the patient may go home when able to perform self-care without dyspnea and hypoxia. This is an example of which phase of the nursing process?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Planning. In the nursing process, planning involves setting goals and determining interventions to achieve those goals. In this scenario, the nurse and patient are discussing criteria for discharge, which involves setting a goal for the patient to perform self-care without dyspnea and hypoxia before being discharged. This aligns with the planning phase where specific actions are outlined to meet the patient's needs.
- A: Assessment comes before planning and involves gathering data about the patient's condition.
- B: Evaluation comes after planning and involves assessing the effectiveness of the interventions.
- C: Implementation involves carrying out the planned interventions, which is not happening in this scenario.
