E) Reduce your repertoire of skilled nursing interventions to ensure a greater likelihood of success.

Answer 1

Reassessing the client before action and consulting literature and colleagues for potentially better approaches are correct implementation guidelines; reducing the repertoire of nursing interventions is not recommended.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct statements that accurately describe recommended guidelines for implementation are:

• Before implementing any nursing action, reassess the client to determine whether the action is still needed.
• Consult colleagues and the nursing and related literature to see if other approaches might be more successful.

Reassessment is crucial before any nursing intervention to ensure that the client's condition has not changed and the planned action is still appropriate. It is important not to act independently but to consider the wishes of the client and family when providing care. Additionally, it's essential not to assume the selected intervention is the best without consulting current literature and colleagues, which can shed light on alternative approaches and more current best practices. Reducing the repertoire of nursing interventions is not advised, as a broad skill set increases the likelihood of successful client outcomes.
