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.
