Individualized goals/outcome statements depend on nursing diagnoses you identify for the patient.However,for a patient with compromised cardiac output,you might plan goals such as no shortness of breath with exertion,brisk capillary refill in nailbeds,and normal skin color with no pallor.Respiratory rate of less than 16 breaths/min is hypoventilation and can lead to poor oxygenation and tissue acidosis.(See Chapter 38 for more information about acid-base balance.)
