Learning goals should state clear, measurable outcomes of what is to be accomplished from the learning process. Demonstrating a proper technique or providing instruction are actions that the nurse will take, rather than behaviours that would indicate if client learning has occurred. Having the client understand the rational for proper foot care after instruction is an example of a learning outcome.
