A goal statement should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART). Option D meets these criteria as it is specific (1000 mL intake), measurable (can be tracked over 24 hours), achievable (not too difficult to achieve), relevant (addresses fluid volume deficit), and time-bound (within 24 hours). Options A, B, and C are not specific enough and do not provide measurable criteria or a time frame for achievement.
