BeckyKRNinthemaking 1 Post Feb 28, 2011 I am horrible at goals for my patients. They have to be two short term goals, each with 3 measurable outcome criteria. My patient: an 85 yr old woman who is very active in her home, church and community. She suffered a right factured femur and I have to do one psychosocial, I chose ineffective role performance. My first goal is: p { margin-bottom: 0.08in; } Will verbalize understanding that physical symptoms interfere with role performance.2nd: p { margin-bottom: 0.08in; } The patient and patients family will discover adaptive ways to keep the patient's independence.I have no idea if these are just plain crap? are they realistic? is there something I'm missing that's more important to teach or have the patient attain? and how would I even measure these? You seem to be the forum superstar and I would greatly appreciate any advice you have to give.Thanks :)
