1. Client will share the preoperative routines of surgical care with family to facilitate compliance.

3. Client will call laboratory to schedule appointment for preoperative blood draw for required testing.
4. Client will present for drawing of preoperative laboratory blood at least 48 hours before scheduled surgery.

ANSWER

ANS: 4
The answer provides for behavior that is measurable and pertinent to the preoperative goals. Sharing the information and calling for the appointment are appropriate outcomes, but they are not the most therapeutic because they not related to actual compliance with the preoperative rou-tine. The remaining option is a client goal.
