Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nurse creates goals with the patient and possibly with the family by discussing the patient's current condition, the condition to which the patient wants to progress, and the actions the patient and nurse undertake to accomplish the goal. If the goals are simply what the nurse wants the patient may have other goals in mind to which he or she gives more attention and effort. The goal does not include the interventions or actions needed; however they must be discussed so the patient understands the care he or she is to receive and what part the patient plays in achieving the goals. The nurse works with the patient to develop a plan of care that is appropriately challenging and promotes patient success in attaining goals.
