Which of the following statements made by a nurse caring for a client who experienced a myo-cardial infarction 8 hours ago shows the greatest insight as to the purpose for keeping the client on bed rest?
 
  1. This has been exhausting; she needs a period of uninterrupted rest.
  2. The pain she experienced is exhausting; it's imperative that she rest.
  3. Keeping her on bed rest decreases the need her body has for oxygen
  4. She needs complete rest; she is really very ill, especially her heart.

Question 2

The nurse recognizes that a client who is inactive is at a risk for decreased muscle mass as a result of increased muscle atrophy and:
 
  1. Decrease metabolic rate
  2. Catabolic tissue breakdown
  3. Inactivity-induced depression
  4. Anorexia caused by decreased peristalsis

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Although all of the options are correct, the primary reason for bed rest in this scenario is to mini-mize the need for oxygen to both the heart and the body in general.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Weight loss, decreased muscle mass, and weakness result from tissue catabolism (tissue break-down).
