Goal: A goal is a broad statement that describes the desired change or outcome that the nurse hopes to achieve through the nursing intervention. It should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART).
Expected outcome: Expected outcomes are specific, measurable, time-limited criteria used to evaluate the client's response to nursing interventions. These outcomes should be directly related to the nursing diagnosis and should reflect the client's progress towards achieving the goal. They help to determine whether the nursing interventions were effective in meeting the desired goals.
