Nurses follow a structured process to implement therapeutic interventions effectively:
1. Assessment: The first step involves a thorough assessment of the patient's physical, emotional, and psychological state. This helps in identifying the specific needs and appropriate therapeutic interventions.
2. Planning: After assessment, nurses develop a care plan tailored to the patient's unique needs. This plan outlines the therapeutic interventions, goals, and expected outcomes.
3. Implementation: This is the action phase where the planned interventions are carried out. Nurses administer medications, provide education, perform procedures, and offer emotional support.
4. Evaluation: The final step involves evaluating the effectiveness of the interventions. Nurses assess whether the goals have been met and make necessary adjustments to the care plan.
