Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

Diet is an important part of long-term management of heart failure. It also contributes to reducing fluid retention. The nurse will instruct the client with cardiomyopathy to monitor sodium intake and to avoid high-fat, high-cholesterol food. Instructing the client to increase protein is not appropriate and is not shown effective in managing cardiomyopathy. Consulting with the dietitian is appropriate with this client.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A

The client who is experiencing activity intolerance should have nursing interventions implemented that encourage and preserve client energy. Assisting the client with ADLs, utilizing ROM exercises, and consulting with physical therapy are all interventions which support this nursing diagnosis. The nurse should cluster nursing activities, not space them out, in order to conserve client energy.
