During the Implement step, which activity is performed?

• A. Provide credible, accurate, appropriate and current information to facilitate decision-making
• B. Elicit a 3-generation family tree
• C. Identify information specific to client needs
• D. Measure outcomes

Answer: (D)

During the Implement stage, the focus is on putting the care plan into action and watching how the patient responds as interventions are carried out. A central part of this is measuring outcomes—continuously assessing progress toward the goals, noting improvements or setbacks, and documenting responses to treatments or education. This ongoing outcome measurement lets you determine in real time whether the chosen interventions are effective and whether adjustments are needed to achieve the desired end results. The other activities described—providing information to support decision-making, gathering a family tree, and identifying information tailored to client needs—align more with education, data collection, and planning; they are not the core action of carrying out and monitoring the plan in the moment of care.
