Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: The client's symptoms indicate that a collection of fluid in the pericardium from the inflamed tissue is restricting cardiac contraction, and the fluid must be removed in order for the heart to contract normally. This will be done by pericardiocentesis.

Answer to Question 2

1,2,3
Rationale: The client might have difficulty adjusting to the new residence.
