    Explanation
    The planning step of the nursing process involves setting goals and selecting interventions. This step is crucial in developing a care plan for the patient. Setting goals helps to establish what the desired outcomes of the nursing care should be, while selecting interventions involves determining the appropriate actions that need to be taken to achieve those goals. Assessing and diagnosing are part of the initial steps in the nursing process, while evaluating goal achievement and performing nursing actions and documenting them are steps that come after the planning phase.

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "A written guideline for implementation and evaluation." This answer is supported by the fact that a nursing care plan is a document that outlines the specific nursing interventions and actions that should be taken to provide care to a client. It serves as a guide for nurses to follow in order to ensure that the appropriate care is provided and that the client's progress is evaluated. The other options, such as "A documentation of client care" and "A projection of potential alterations in client behaviors," do not fully capture the purpose and function of a nursing care plan.
