Setting health goals typically involves several steps: 1. Assessment: The nurse conducts a thorough assessment of the patient's health status, including physical, emotional, and social aspects. 2. Goal Setting: Based on the assessment, the nurse collaborates with the patient to set realistic and achievable goals. 3. Planning: A detailed care plan is developed, outlining the interventions required to achieve the goals. 4. Implementation: The care plan is put into action. 5. Evaluation: The nurse regularly evaluates the patient's progress towards the goals and makes necessary adjustments to the care plan.
