How to Write an Evaluation in a Nursing Paper

Evaluation is an important part of the nursing process. It helps nurses understand the best way to care for patients. It looks at the goals of the patient care and whether those goals were met. The evaluation should include an evaluation of the entire care team as well as the perspective of the patient. Including an evaluation in a nursing paper helps you better understand the nursing process and make changes to improve your patient care.
