Practice Question

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

"I will develop a SMART goal based on the client's problems."

Rationale:

🔵The planning step involves developing goals and expected outcomes that address the identified nursing diagnoses.

🔵A SMART goal (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound) provides a structured method to ensure goals are realistic and trackable.

🔵This helps guide the selection of nursing interventions and ensures care is directed toward resolving the client’s problem.

🔵This step is crucial for evaluating whether the desired patient outcomes are being achieved effectively.
