Nursing interventions typically involve assessing a patient's health, developing a plan of care, implementing the plan, and evaluating the effectiveness of the plan. The 7 common nursing interventions are monitoring health status, providing patient education, managing medications, providing emotional support, providing comfort measures, promoting safety, and coordinating care. Monitoring health status involves assessing a patient's vital signs, symptom management, and lab results. Patient education involves teaching patients and their families about their health and their care plan. Managing medications involves administering, monitoring, and educating about medications. Providing emotional support involves listening and providing comfort to patients and their families. Comfort measures involve providing comfort through massage, heat, or cold. Promoting safety involves evaluating a patient's environment for potential hazards. Coordinating care involves managing the care team and working with other disciplines to ensure a patient's care is coordinated.
