How to create STGs on your SBAR

​How do I create a

Short Term Goal?

Start with a time interval!

Oxygenation, Fluid/Volume, Perfusion

Match

Match the following concept to the STG's time interval.

• Oxygenation

• Fluid Volume

• Perfusion

q 5min-q 15minutes

q4-6h (or the end of the shift)

q4-8h (or the end of the shift)

• q 5min-q 15minutes

• q4-6h (or the end of the shift)

• q4-8h (or the end of the shift)

Match

Match the signs and symptoms to the concept.

• Oxygenation

• Fluid Volume

• Perfusion

AOX4, PERRLA, -FAST, O2 sat on RA >95%, rr 8-12/minute, no dyspnea at rest, clear lung sounds

negative orthos, I = O, no kg gain in last 24 hours, lungs clear, no dyspnea at rest, AOX4, PERRLA

+ cap ref, SBP >90, <150, HR 60-100, skin pink, warm, AOX4, PERRLA, -FAST, lungs CTA, UO 120ml/4h

• AOX4, PERRLA, -FAST, O2 sat on RA >95%, rr 8-12/minute, no dyspnea at rest, clear lung sounds

• negative orthos, I = O, no kg gain in last 24 hours, lungs clear, no dyspnea at rest, AOX4, PERRLA

• + cap ref, SBP >90, <150, HR 60-100, skin pink, warm, AOX4, PERRLA, -FAST, lungs CTA, UO 120ml/4h

Time to create a short term goal!

Open Ended

Create an STG for "oxygenation"

example: "Within the next _____, the patient will (state what you want to assess using the organs that assess oxygenation; must be measurable)

Hint: look to the left!

Open Ended

Create an STG for "fluid/volume"

example: "Within the next _____, the patient will (state what you want to assess using the organs that assess a patient's fluid volume status; must be measurable)

Hint: look to the left and this is what you should always place in the STG area for F/V.

Open Ended

Create an STG for "perfusion"

example: "Within the next _____, the patient will (state what you want to assess using the organs that assess perfusion; must be measurable)

Hint: the findings to the left are assessing each organ that is important for this concept.

Reorder

If your patient has oxygenation, fluid/volume, and perfusion problems, what order will you prioritize them?

• Oxygenation

• Fluid Volume

• Perfusion

This helped me understand how to create a short term goal and prioritize.

• Yep.

• Meh.

• I'm getting there.

• I am struggling and will email Dr. Concilio.
