It is important to reassess the client before implementing any nursing action to ensure that the action is still necessary. It is also recommended to consult with colleagues and the nursing literature to explore different approaches and determine the best course of action. Acting independently regardless of the wishes of the client/family (A) is not a recommended guideline. Assuming that the selected intervention is the best option (C) may not always be accurate and can limit the exploration of other possibilities. Reducing the repertoire of skilled interventions (E) can also limit the ability to provide the best care for the client.
