Management of CareQuestion 59 of 2368

Which expected outcome statement should the nurse revise because it contains more than one action?

  1. The client will walk to the bathroom with assistance and will bathe independently by discharge
  2. The client will walk 50 feet three times daily with standby assistance until discharge
  3. The client will list three low-sodium foods before discharge
  4. The client will drink 24 ounces of fluid during every day shift
Show answer

Correct answer: The client will walk to the bathroom with assistance and will bathe independently by discharge

Each outcome should have only one action so it can be evaluated precisely. Walking and bathing must be separate outcomes.
