Answer to Question 1

D
Edema and pulmonary congestion are treated with diuretics, a sodium-restricted diet, and restriction of fluid intake. Weigh the patient daily to monitor fluid retention.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
As stories are shared, people begin to see that theirs are not the only lives that have been less than ideal, sprinkled with pain, or unfolding in unintended ways. Sharing life stories does not necessarily help with meeting patients' psychosocial needs. Sharing stories also does not make the nurse aware of tending to self-care needs first or the need to make changes to promote a healthful lifestyle.
