"a nurse is explaining the nursing process to a nursing assistant. which step of the nursing process should include interpretation of data collected about the client? "

I think the step is Evaluation. In this step an actual or potential client health problem is based on the analysis and interpretation of the data previously collected during the assessment phase of the nursing process. Gathering data is included in the client's assessment. Nursing interventions are based on the earlier steps of the nursing process. The plan of care includes nursing process. The plan of care involves action to meet the needs of the clients. The nursing actions planning is done upon identifying the clients needs.
