Ten nurse experts participated in Round I and II of this study. They were asked to rate activities that exemplified the interventions on a scale of 1(activity is not all characteristic) to 515 'critical' activities and 10 'supporting' activities, while round II contained 16 'critical' activities and 6 'supporting' activities. No activities were considered to be 'nonsupporting' in both round I and II. Finally, the definition and 25 defining activities were developed.
