The patient will discuss possible coping strategies during weekly office visits is an appropriate goal for Readiness for enhanced coping. The patient will report an ability to focus on discharge instructions is an appropriate goal for Anxiety. An appropriate goal for Ineffective coping would be to discuss possible coping strategies during weekly visits. Strategies for coping with relationship violence within 24 hours (short timeframe) is an appropriate goal for Stress overload.

Answer to Question 2

A social worker identifies appropriate services and resources. A dietician can provide education regarding dietary needs and food choices.
