What is the correct step if a nurse wants to demonstrate ongoing progress on a goal?

To demonstrate ongoing progress on a goal, highlighting the goal and clicking DOCUMENT is the appropriate step. This action signifies that the nurse is actively updating the patient's medical record with the current status of the goal, making it visible to other healthcare team members. Proper documentation is crucial in healthcare as it provides a clear and formal way to track progress, communicate patient status, and ensure that all team members are aware of the updates. By documenting, the nurse contributes to the continuity of care and allows for informed decision-making based on the latest information regarding the patient's health and treatment objectives.

While submitting a request for a progress report, scheduling a meeting with the healthcare team, or reviewing the goal with the patient are all valuable elements of patient care and collaboration, they do not directly fulfill the task of updating the existing care plan or goal in the system. Those tasks can serve to facilitate communication about the goal, but actual documentation is the critical step that provides a lasting record of the patient's progress.
