Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
The nurse finding it difficult to modify the plan of care if the goals are not met is correct. Singu-larity allows you to decide if there is a need to modify the plan of care because only one response is considered. Although the other answers may be true, they are not the primary reason for having only one focus per goal.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
Client will consume at least 75 of each meal served is correct. Outcomes and goals reflect the client's behavior and responses expected as a result of nursing interventions. Write a goal to re-flect client behavior, not to reflect your goals or interventions. The other options are nurs-ing-centered.
