• Modify the treatment/intervention as appropriate to the complexity of the client's presentation and vary the treatment as necessary to meet the client's changing needs
• Provide education to clients, carers and the community to support self-management and health literacy.
• Evaluate the evidence from literature and research to determine appropriate actions to ensure evidence-based practice is undertaken
