Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Interventions are activities that will help the patient achieve a goal,such as administering pain-relieving medication.An example of assessment data might be: "Patient reports pain is a 5 on a 1 to 10 scale." The nursing diagnosis would be "pain." The nurse might define the patient outcome in this scenario as,"The patient will state the level of pain is less than 4."
