C
All goals need to have measurable outcomes for you to be able to determine whether they have been met. These include objective data, such as oxygen saturation levels, arterial blood gas levels, laboratory findings, chest radiographs, electrocardiogram patterns, blood pressure, and pulse. Quantify subjective findings, such as the reported degree of breathlessness or pain on visual analog scales. Less pain, breathe better, and normal interactions do not include objective data, making them hard to measure.
