Answer to Question 1

Ans: B

Besides being patient focused, outcomes identified by the nurse are realistic and measurable. Outcomes are expected as a result of care and contain a realistic time line for their accomplishment. Feeling better is not measureable and the other listed outcomes lack a time frame.
