Correct Answer: 3

Rationale 2: Diagnosis is identifying patterns and making inferences and this is not what is described in the question.
Rationale 3: Implementation is that part of the nursing process in which the nurse applies knowledge to perform interventions.
Rationale 4: Evaluation is making criterion-based evaluations and this is not what is described in the question.
