decisions, and managing toxicity.
| | |
, Assessment Phase - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Collecting data about the patient--
| | | | | | | |
Collection of baseline data needed to evaluate therapeutic responses-- Collection
| | | | | | | | | |
of baseline data needed to evaluate adverse effects--Identification of high-risk
| | | | | | | | | |
patients--Assessment of the patient's capacity for self-care | | | | | |
Analysis Phase - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Analyze the data collected and form
| | | | | | | | | |
Nursing Dx--Judge the appropriateness of the prescribed regimen--Identify
| | | | | | | |
potential health problems that the drug might cause--Determine the patient's
| | | | | | | | | |
capacity for self-care.
| |

| | | | | | |
Defining goals-- Establishing priorities--Identifying specific interventions--
| | | | | |
Establishing criteria for evaluating success
| | | |
Implementation Phase - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-- Nurse carries out the | | | | | | | | |
interventions-- Drug Administration-- Patient Education-- Interventions to
| | | | | | |
promote therapeutic effects-- Interventions to minimize adverse effects
| | | | | | |
Evaluation Phase - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Therapeutic responses--Adverse drug
| | | | | | |
reactions and interactions--Adherence to the prescribed regimen-- Satisfaction
| | | | | | | |
with treatment--How frequently evaluations are performed depends on the
| | | | | | | | |
expected time course of therapeutic and adverse effects.
| | | | | | |
