You conduct evaluation measures to determine if you met expected outcomes, not if nursing in-terventions were completed. The decrease in size of the pressure ulcer best evaluates the effec-tiveness of this intervention while the remaining options reflect client opinion, further skin breakdown, or implementation of the intervention.
