for the life of me, i don't understand why students come up with goals and have no idea of how they are going to achieve them. your goals should be what you expect will happen after your nursing interventions have been performed. that means you already have an idea of what your nursing interventions are going to be. look in your nursing books and see what they say you can do for someone with diarrhea. if that doesn't give you ideas for nursing interventions look at these two websites:

interventions for diarrhea can also be found on websites like webmd and medicinenet.
