From the Paper:

"Sister Callista's evaluation is the last step of the nursing process. Its effectiveness is determined by the assessment of the individual or patient's outcome behaviors (Stein 2000). If the outcome behaviors are identical to, or consistent with the stated goals, then the nursing intervention is considered successful. But if the outcome behaviors remain maladaptive, further evaluation of the intervention to draw up a more appropriate one is needed. When adaptive behaviors are introduced or re-established, the nursing process must be repeated in order to track down any new or omitted but ongoing problems. This is why, according to Sister Callista, the nursing process maintains a typically skeptic pos (Stein)."
