Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Evaluation is a methodical approach for determining if nursing implementation was effective in influencing a patient's progress or condition in a favorable way. During evaluation, you do not simply determine whether nursing interventions were completed. The evaluation process is not used to determine when to downsize staffing or how to eliminate paperwork and care planning.
