A patient who is recovering from a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is anxious about resuming normal levels of activity and mobility, citing a fear of putting undue strain on his heart, as well as being unable to safely mobilize.
 
  Consequently, the patient has expressed his intention to remain on bed rest for several days. How should the nurse respond to this patient's concerns about activity and mobility?
  A) There are actually a lot of benefits of moving early and often. While you're mobilizing, we'll keep you safe.
  B) Actually, your plan of care already includes several days of bed rest to make sure that your heart is fully recovered.
  C) It would be ideal if you could do some light mobilizing soon, but you can let us know when you would like to begin this.
  D) You'll have to get permission from your cardiologist if you want to stay in bed for longer than normal.
