Interpretation in nursing involves several dimensions:
Clinical Data Interpretation: Nurses need to interpret clinical data such as vital signs, laboratory results, and imaging studies to make informed decisions about patient care. Patient Communication: Understanding and interpreting verbal and non-verbal cues from patients to assess their condition and needs. Documentation Interpretation: Reading and understanding medical records, treatment plans, and physician notes accurately. Cultural Interpretation: Understanding cultural contexts and language barriers that may affect patient care and communication.
