The nurse formulates a diagnosis of knowledge deficit related to complications of pregnancy. One outcome criterion is that the client can state five symptoms that indicate a possible problem that should be reported
The client is able to tell the nurse three symptoms. The evaluation statement would be:
1. Goal met; client able to state three symptoms
2. Goal not met; client able to list three symptoms
3. Goal not met; client unable to list five symptoms
4. Goal partially met; client able to state three symptoms
ANS: 4
The client is showing changes but does not yet meet criteria set; therefore, the goal is partially met. The client's response, being able to state three symptoms, does not meet or exceed the out-come criteria of being able to state five symptoms. The client's response, being able to list three symptoms, demonstrates some change. If the client were showing no progress, then the goal would not be met. If the client were showing no progress, then the goal would not be met. However, this client's response does indicate some change.
