An appropriate goal for the diagnosis impaired transfer ability related to insufficient muscle strength is that the patient will safely transfer from bed to chair with the assistance of one person.Verbalization of feelings about immobility is not an appropriate goal for the diagnosis of impaired transfer ability.Goals are achieved by the patient rather than the nurse.Repositioning the patient and utilizing a gait belt are examples of interventions.
