"I'm such a loser.I had that job for only a month." Identify appropriate nursing outcome criteria for this individual.

A) The patient will verbalize three life areas in which he or she functions well.
B) The patient will find new employment before the next clinic visit.
C) The patient will confront his or her former boss about work problems.
D) The patient will identify why he or she is considered a bad employee.

Verbalizing three life areas in which a person functions well is an individualized measurable outcome that is realistic.Confronting a former boss could have physical and emotional repercussions for the patient.If the person is voicing that he or she has problems obtaining employment,then putting extra pressure on the person to obtain employment would be detrimental to the patient and does not reflect a supportive and caring nursing outcome.Any implication that the patient is a bad employee is inappropriate.
