Nurse initiated intervention

Nurse-initiated Intervention The nurse performs the intervention independently. 

The types of interventions used to treat a patient are nurse-initiated intervention, healthcare provider intervention, and collaborative intervention. 

A nurse-initiated intervention is a nursing order performed independently by the nurse based on a scientific rationale that benefits the patient in a predicted way, such as removing a blanket to lower the patient s temperature.

How much of Daphnis and Chloe was literary invention and how much reflected reality Some ancient historians have rejected as evidence of widespread abandonment both this pastoral romance and the plots of several earlier Greek and Roman new comedies but for a literary work such as Daphnis and Chloe to have had any impact, at the least readers would have had to accept the plausibility of infant exposiue for the reasons stated by both fathers." That the babies were nursed by animals, were soon found by humans, were subsequently adopted by caring peasant families, and eventually were reunited with their true parents of high status required divine intervention, but the initial abandonment represented a harsh fact of contemporary reahty.
