D) Only those interventions that agree with patient preferences

In selecting nursing interventions,a nurse has many resources available to her.One can select from a standardized list such as the NIC,standardized care plans,agency protocols,nursing texts,journals,and other professional nurses.Additionally,a nurse can generate her own list of interventions based on her knowledge base and experience.When possible,it is always best to choose interventions based on research and scientific principle.Traditional interventions can be used but they should be interventions that are supported by research as opposed to "seeming" to have worked.Patient preferences and directions are always considered when possible; however,the nurse cannot use only those interventions based on patient direction and preference.
