During which phase of the nursing process are interventions carried out?

Interventions are carried out during the implementation phase of the nursing process. This phase follows the assessment, diagnosis, and planning stages. In implementation, nurses put the planned interventions into action to meet the patient's needs and goals identified in earlier phases. This may involve administering medications, providing patient education, performing procedures, or coordinating care with other healthcare professionals.

The focus here is on executing the care plan that has been developed based on the comprehensive assessment and the nursing diagnosis. The effectiveness of these interventions will later be evaluated to determine if the patient’s condition has improved or if the care plan needs to be adjusted, underscoring the continuous nature of the nursing process.
