After providing care, wh Post by: robertling on Dec 25, 2012 1 -- Documenting interventions is the final component of implementation as well as being a legal requirement. Ongoing assessment of the patient is an essential component of implementation but it is not the final step. Nursing action is required after the completion of care. Providing report is an ongoing process and not necessarily completed after implementing the plan of care.
