• A. Three
• B. Four
• C. Six
• D. Five

Answer: (D)

In evaluation, the nurse determines whether the planned outcomes were achieved and what needs to change. There are five parts to this process: reassessing the patient to gather current data on achievement; comparing actual outcomes with the expected ones; judging how closely the results match the standards; deciding whether outcomes were fully, partially, or not achieved; and revising the care plan as needed with proper documentation.
