Which of the following goals would the nurse most likely write for a client receiving palliative care?
1. Client will verbalize one or more reasons to comply with treatment regimen.
2. Client will eat at least 75% of all meals and drink 6-8 glasses of water per day.
3. Client or family will say staff is fulfilling client's wishes as much as possible.
4. Client will verbalize understanding of addiction and prevention of addiction.
3
Rationale: The goal of palliative care is to meet the client's basic needs and maintain comfort, both physical and psychosocial so an appropriate goal would be to fulfill client's wishes as much as possible. Complying with a treatment regimen is restorative care. Palliative care would dictate the client will eat or drink enough to be comfortable, as opposed as much as is needed to maintain or restore health. The client receiving palliative care would not need to understand addiction or prevention of addiction.
