Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: A client goal should be specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timed. The client will be self-administering the drug, and the time frame might gradually change to less frequent administration as the blood count improves.
Rationale 2: The goal should be client-directed, not nurse directed. This statement is a nursing intervention.
Rationale 3: Understanding is an internal event that cannot be measured unless the client can state understanding or convey it in some other way.
Rationale 4: The goal should be client-directed, not nurse directed. This statement is a nursing intervention.
