A client with a family history of cardiac disease is seeking information to control risk factors. Which lifestyle modification is most important for the nurse to encourage?

Stress reduction.

Smoking cessation.

Regular exercise.

Low-fat diet.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

B. Smoking is a significant risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease, as it contributes to the narrowing and hardening of the arteries, increases blood pressure, reduces oxygen supply to tissues, and promotes the formation of blood clots.

A. Chronic stress can contribute to cardiovascular disease by raising blood pressure, increasing heart rate, and promoting inflammation.

C. Regular physical activity is crucial for cardiovascular health. It helps strengthen the heart muscle, lower blood pressure, improve cholesterol levels, control weight, and reduce stress.

D. A low-fat diet, particularly one that is high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, can help lower cholesterol levels, reduce blood pressure, and manage weight, all of which are important for heart health.

Although A, C, D play a role in preventing cardiovascular disease, smoking is the major risk factor for cardiovascular disease.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Erythema (redness) and serosanguineous exudate (clear to blood-tinged fluid) are typical findings in the early stages of wound healing, especially within the first few days post-surgery. However, one week post-surgery, these signs should begin to decrease as the wound progresses through the inflammatory phase of healing.

B. Eschar (dry, black, or brown necrotic tissue) and slough (yellow or white soft tissue) are indicative of non-viable tissue and delayed wound healing.

C. Beefy red granulation tissue is a positive sign of healing. It indicates new tissue formation, which is essential for the healing process. Granulation tissue is typically moist, and its presence suggests that the wound is progressing well towards healing.

D.This indicates that the edges of the incision are properly closed and healing as expected.
