Low- affect pts future well-being
Establishing a preferential order for nursing interventions
urgency
High classification example
safety, oxygen, adequate circulation
Intermediate

Nurses need to know
scientific rationale for intervention
Type of interventions
Nurse-initiated

Don’t require medical order
ADLs-bathing, ROM
HC provider intitated
aka dependent
Requires order
Labs, Meds, Wound care
Collaborative initiated intervention
aka interdependent
combo knowledge/skill of multiple hc professionals
Initiated & collaborate interventions DO NOT
