Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Answer A addresses the impact of the diagnosis on the client's lifestyle and quality of life, concerns that are central to holistic nursing care. Answers B, C, and D address valid components of care for the client, but are less indicative of a holistic approach.

Calcium and proteins, along with a balanced diet, will assist in the development of musculoskeletal health. The target heart rate is 65 to 80 of maximum heart rate; not all persons require PROM, but only those who are unable to move independently.
