Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of nurse-initiated interventions: These are actions that a nurse can perform independently, based on their professional judgment and expertise, without needing a physician's order.

Identify the options provided: Scheduling surgery, ordering diagnostic tests, performing a physical assessment, and administering medication as prescribed.

Evaluate each option: Consider which actions require a physician's order or collaboration with other healthcare professionals, and which can be performed independently by a nurse.

Recognize that performing a physical assessment is a fundamental skill of nursing practice: Nurses are trained to assess patients' physical conditions, gather data, and make clinical judgments based on their assessments.

Conclude that performing a physical assessment is a nurse-initiated intervention: It is an independent action that nurses perform to evaluate a patient's health status and is essential in the context of organ systems.
