Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nurse should determine barriers to achieving the goal in order to identify the reason why the goal has not been met and modify the plan of care accordingly. Simply telling the client three things he does well or asking other clients to do so does not necessarily address the underlying issue. Doing nothing as long as the client appears better is not appropriate because the goal has not been met.
