The nurse realizes that goals should be singular in focus primarily because:

1. The nurse will find it difficult to modify the plan of care if the goals are not met.
2. The client may not have the strength to accomplish multiply behavioral changes.
3. The client may have difficulty focusing on more than one behavioral modification at a time.
4. The nurse will find it difficult to identify appropriate interventions to address multiple behaviors.

ANS: 1
The nurse finding it difficult to modify the plan of care if the goals are not met is correct. Singu-larity allows you to decide if there is a need to modify the plan of care because only one response is considered. Although the other answers may be true, they are not the primary reason for having only one focus per goal.
