The following are guidelines for using knowledge of the concepts of the theory of goal attainment and of the transaction process together with the code for nurses and standards of clinical nursing practice:
1. Assist patient and family determine the key values in the situation and persuade them to contemplate within their value system as well as the outcomes of action they choose to undertake in the situation.
2. Assist patient and family in making decisions by reflecting on their value system based on the information that you provide; stress on their circumstances as expressed by them; however, avoid making decisions for them.
3. Try to be skillful in determining choices in each nursing situation and search these with the patient and family.
4. Determine those components in the situation that can be controlled and changed as well as those which cannot; focus your efforts and energy on change and control.
5. Issues on ethical may occur in considering (a) right to life, (b) right to die, and (c) right to information to be informed.
Employing knowledge of the concepts in the theory of goal attainment and in the transaction process will enable nurses focus on the fact that each and individual must be treated with respect as human beings of equal importance who have their own set of personal values. Fundamental theoretical knowledge is key in undertaking responsibility in making ethical decisions in healthcare and nursing.

',. ahm, ma'am danela, I learned a lot while I am reading the article. I learned on how to communicate well to others especially to the patients.
It taught me important things about the goal attainment theory.
Before I read the article about the goal attainment theory, I watched the video of Imogene King and before it ends I noticed a quote at the end of the video. . well, after i read it, I was challenged and I said to myself that I need to study hard so I can continue in achieving my dreams. Well, ma'am a very big THANK YOU for you . . 'coz I know that I've met someone that can be my good foundation,and it's you ma'am!!! keep up the good work ma'am!!! Thank You!
ahm...mrs danela, i asked my uncle in canada about caring the patients, and he said that it is important that a nurse must be a part of his patient's life, and i have realized that also the goals of the patient and the nurse is also needed. i also asked if this is important, and he said that it is definitely needed. and because of your article, my uncle will also teach his staff nurse in order for his staff to be closed to his staff's patients.. tnx a lot for the article that you have posted.,
applying goal attainment theory helps us in decision making. I've learned that this theory means a lot in nursing practice because it guides and helps nurses to have a sufficient knowledge in taking care of their patients.
ahm..the goal attainment theory really help me on my daily living..because of this theory, i am more encouraged to become a nurse someday because i want to serve people and apply these theory..tnx mam 4 posting this article..
ma'am danela, i fully remembered the time you discussed imogene king's theory of Goal attainment and you further emphasized that it is the most applicable theory. upon reading the article and listening to our lessons, it is really evident that it is certainly very applicable not only in the nursing profession but in general aspects of living.
in order to attain one's goals, he must not only exert eforts but more imporatantly, he, together with the other people and institutions around him must have the common goal and work in accordance with one another. as for the practice of Nursing profession, the four major components of Nursing metaparadigm must be interrelated and interacting with one another to come up with the reality of the common goal...
thank you ma'm danela...
i really love TFN because it's really the primary stepping stones for the reality of our profession in the near future..
