Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
You need to be able to observe if change takes place in a client's status. Observable changes oc-cur in physiological findings and the client's knowledge, perceptions, and behavior. You observe outcomes by directly asking clients about their condition or by using assessment skills. The client rating his anxiety is one method of observing improvement. The phrase will be less anxious is not observable. The phrase will appear less anxious is not observable. Although pulse rate and blood pressure may be affected by anxiety, there is no assurance that normal readings reflect an improvement.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Each goal and outcome addresses only one behavior or response. In this case the client will walk to the shower daily. Although coughing and deep breathing are usually done as a unit, they are really two separate actions. The client being free of shoulder and elbow pain by discharge relates to two different anatomical locations. Adhering to a diet and losing 3 pounds are two different actions.
