With data collection, the nurse collects data about clients' basic physical, emotional, spiritual, and sociocultural needs; uses knowledge of normal values to identify deviations; documents data collection; and communicates findings. During planning, the nurse contributes to the development of nursing care plans; prioritizes nursing care needs; and assists in review and revision of nursing care plans.
