be SMART: specific, measurable, appropriate, realistic, and timely. Options
3 and 4 are SMART goals. Options 1 and 2 have no timeframe to achieve
the goal and are therefore incomplete. Option 2 is also unrealistic; the nurse
cannot expect a postoperative client to be pain free. Option 5 is not a client
goal.
◍ objective data.
Answer: what you as the health professional observe by assessing,
inspecting, percussing, palpating, and auscultating during the physical
examination

safety. This action represents the implementation phase of the nursing
process. Data gathering occurs during assessment. Goal setting occurs
during planning. Determining attainment of client goals occurs as part of
evaluation.
◍ documenting data.
Answer: objective and factualaccuratecompleteuse quotes when possible
◍ after it is performed.
Answer: when should you document an intervention
◍ intervention to focus on for - "nausea related to consuming large amount of
fatty food as evidence by patient complaint".
Answer: nausea - is the problem but it is caused by - diet
◍ potential problem.
Answer: risk for a problem ex. a patient that has been in the bed for a while
after surgery is at a risk for blood clots, falls, and bed sores ^ those are
