In the five-step nursing process, the evaluation phase is the final step involving conducting evaluative measures to determine whether nursing interventions have been effective and whether the patient has met expected outcomes. Assessment, the first step of the process, includes data collection, validation, sorting, and documentation. Planning, the third step of the process, involves setting priorities, identifying patient goals and outcomes, and prescribing nursing interventions. During implementation, nurses initiate nursing care, which is necessary to help patients achieve their goals.
