Answer to Question 1

B
Heart failure is a condition in which the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the metabolic needs of the body.

Answer to Question 2

1. Activity Intolerance

Rationale:
Along with diet, exercise is an important part of a weight loss program. A client with morbid obesity has a sedentary lifestyle and will have activity intolerance. Disturbed body image and constipation may both be legitimate diagnoses, but activity intolerance is a greater priority if the client is to lose weight. There is no evidence that this client exhibits defensive coping.
