This document provides an outline and details on the nursing process step of implementation. It begins with defining a nursing intervention as any treatment performed by a nurse based on clinical judgment and knowledge. The purposes of implementation include standardizing nursing language, developing information systems, and determining costs of nursing services. The process of implementation involves reassessing clients, determining if assistance is needed, performing interventions, supervising delegated care, and documenting activities. Major nursing responsibilities in implementing care include reviewing plans, scheduling care, collaborating with others, supervising delegation, achieving goals, providing direct care, counseling, teaching, and making referrals. Examples provided illustrate implementing care for pneumonia and a urinary tract infection.
