ANS: A
The highest priority goal for this patient is continence with no perineal skin breakdown to maintain skin integrity and self-esteem. Patient statements of satisfaction and the ability to pull up clothing are less important. Privacy is an intervention to be performed by the staff rather than a goal for the patient.
