Which statements describe a desired patient outcome or expected outcome? (Select all that apply)
Choice A reason: A desired patient outcome or expected outcome is a goal that the patient and his family ask the nursing staff to accomplish. This ensures that the patient’s needs and preferences are respected and met.
Choice B reason: A desired patient outcome or expected outcome is not a goal that is set slightly higher than the patient can achieve. This would be unrealistic and demotivating for the patient.
Choice C reason: A desired patient outcome or expected outcome is not a goal statement that is observable and measurable. This is a characteristic of a well-writen goal statement, but not a definition of a desired patient outcome or expected outcome.
Choice D reason: A desired patient outcome or expected outcome is a goal that the patient should reach as a result of planned nursing interventions. This shows the link between the nursing process and the patient’s progress.
