Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1
Explanation: Properly stated patient goals must be concrete and measurable. The goal that the patient will sleep 6 hours a night within 3 days meets these requirements of properly-stated goals. The goal of a normal mood pattern is not measurable, as normal is different for everyone. Assessing the patient for acute mania and providing the patient meals are nursing actions, not patient goals.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4
Explanation: The met versus not-met framework of evaluating goals and outcomes, though the most widely used method, is less effective at specifying progress toward meeting the goal or outcome. Evaluation methods do not identify, define, or document specific goals.
