Measurability provides the means to evaluate outcomes consistently. The outcome criterion of listing the specific signs of infection is consistently measurable by anyone choosing to attain that outcome criterion. Being pain-free and then walking to the bathroom is not measurable because one outcome criterion cannot depend on completion of another criterion. Each outcome criterion is considered an individual goal. The statements addressing abdominal pain and nausea, vomiting, diarrhea are collected data and taking account of the pain medications administered to the patient have nothing in common with measurability.
