please steer me in the right direction with these responses below: nursing interventions:what method(s) help you identify your client's need and choose necessary interventions to meet them? the method(s) i use in order to identify my client's needs are: the nursing process. i use this tool to collect and analyze information about the client, dissect the client's data and draw conclusions about existing problems and determine what i can do about them. i also incorporate analytical, critical, creative and effective thinking, decision making and problem solving skills to help me to arrive at a favorable conclusion(s) about my client's problems and/or needs, and that guides me to find effective solutions to those identified problems or needs. nursing process: nurses have many roles. many times, they have to make both simple as well as complex decisions. how do you determine which "outcomes" are a priority for your client? what other team members may be incorporated (collaboration) to help your client reach these outcomes? i evaluate the client outcomes, which in turn changes client care based on the evaluation. this helps me select appropriate interventions to match the priorities in my nursing diagnosis/es; for example, life threatening diagnosis will be the highest priority. by putting these goals in order of urgency or seriousness of the problem or need as well as it's impact on the client helps in information sharing with other members of the health-care team; such as physician, physical therapist, occupational therapist, nutritionist, social worker. the multi-disciplinary team in-turn examines the list of problems i have identified, use or expand the list to provide care individually or in a collaborative manner to help the client reach their outcome goals.

(I now understand the whole nursing process in one discussion forum compared to the 3 weeks I have been in lecture and reading the books.
