The goal statement for a client's care plan read as follows: Client will be able to state two positive aspects of rehab therapy by the end of the week. Which of the following is an appropriately written evaluation statement?
1. Goal not met, client able to state one positive aspect by the end of the week.
2. Goal met, client able to state one positive aspect by the end of the week.
3. Goal met, client able to state two positive aspects of therapy by week's end.
4. Goal incomplete, client not able to positively state anything about rehab.
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: If the client can only state one or it takes longer than a week, then the goal could be partially met.
Rationale 2: If the client can only state one or it takes longer than a week, then the goal could be partially met.
Rationale 3: An evaluation statement consists of two parts: a conclusion and supporting data. The conclusion is a statement that the goal/desired outcome was met, partially met, or not met. The supporting data are the list of the client responses that support the conclusion. In this situation, the goal was met if the client was able to state two positive aspects of rehab by the end of the week and the evaluation statement should reveal that.
Rationale 4: Using the word "incomplete" is not appropriate for the evaluation statement.
