Answer to Question 1

C
All goals need to have measurable outcomes for you to be able to determine whether they have been met. These include objective data, such as arterial blood gas levels, laboratory findings, chest radiographs, electrocardiogram patterns, blood pressure, and pulse. Quantify subjective findings, such as the reported degree of breathlessness or pain.
