The document defines implementation as the performance of nursing interventions necessary to achieve the goals of nursing care. It outlines three types of interventions: dependent, which use cognitive skills; independent, which use technical skills; and interdependent, which use interpersonal skills. The implementation process involves efficiently and safely assessing patients, reviewing care plans, organizing resources, anticipating complications, and performing nursing interventions. Direct care involves interacting with patients, while indirect care supports direct care through administrative actions like documentation.
