The correctly stated goals are:
1) The client will demonstrate an insulin injection at the end of the teaching session.
2) The client will establish regular bowel habits by discharge.
4) The client will be toileted every four hours.
Explanation:
1) This is a specific goal that can be objectively measured. It states what the client will do (demonstrate an insulin injection) and when (at the end of the teaching session).
2) This goal is also specific and measurable. It states what the client will achieve (establish regular bowel habits) and by when (discharge).
3) This statement is a need rather than a goal. It doesn't specify what the client will achieve or when.
4) This goal is specific, measurable, and time-bound. It states what will be done for the client (toileted) and when (every four hours).
5) This statement is a client perception, not a goal. It doesn't state what the client will achieve or when.
