Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A The statement, Client has no pain after ambulating, does not use the same evaluative measure gathered during assessment. The assessment measure concerned respiratory changes during ambulation, not pain. If the client's pain level were going to be used as an evaluative measure, it would be optimal to have the client report the pain by using a pain scale to make it more measurable for comparison.
B The statement, Client has no manifestations of nausea while up in hall, is not the best example of an objective evaluation of the client's goal attainment. It does not use the same evaluative measure gathered during assessment. The assessment measure concerned respiratory changes during ambulation, not nausea. Also, the client's feeling of nausea is subjective data.
C Client has no evidence of respiratory distress when ambulating is the best example of an objective evaluation of the client's goal attainment. It uses the same evaluative measures gathered during assessment and clearly describes objective data.
D Client walked well and did not have any problem when up is not the best example of an objective evaluation. It includes the nurse's interpretation rather than documentation of objective data.
