Help! Long term goals

Help!

The last thing that's holding me up are my long term goals! I wrote out my 4 but my teacher said I need to make them measurable and have a date at the end of each!

Here's my 4 long term goals for my patient with sepsis and altered mental state:

patient remains free of signs and symptoms of infection by discharge (pt had sepsis)

patient will consume adequate nourishment each day through end of life(my teacher said what is adequate nourishment?)

patients wounds/ lesions will heal upon return to nursing home( pt was 89 had stage 2 pressure ulcer on coccyx area and reddened back)

patient will use effective communication techniques by time of discharge and continue using effective communication techniques through rehab and speech therapy( pt was nonverbal)

Any suggestions/guidence I would greatly apprectiate
