What the nurse should do
If the desired outcome of having the client sit on the side of the bed by the end of the shift was not met, the nurse should reassess the situation, gather additional data, and formulate a new analysis to determine the reasons for the lack of progress.
This may involve identifying barriers, reassessing the client's condition, and modifying the plan of care as needed. The nurse should consider whether additional nursing interventions are required and collaborate with the healthcare team to address any issues that may be impeding progress toward the goal.
