The nurse is aware of the goal of "Patient will eat at least 50% of all meals." The nurse has observed the patient eating over 50% of all meals for 2 days. The evaluation statement should read:
1. ate well for all meals.
2. resolved: goal met.
3. goal met: patient ate 50% of all meals on 7/12 and 7/13.
4. ate 50% of meals.

The evaluation statement should reflect the actual outcome compared to the expected out-come, with the qualifying statement of goal met, goal not met, goal partially met.
