A nurse is caring for a pediatric patient with congestive heart failure (CHF). What major goal should the nurse include in the care of this patient?

Choice A rationale:

Planning for nurses to provide feedings is not necessary since this is not related to the nursing care plan and doesn't address the mother's concern.

Choice B rationale:

Reporting the finding to the health care provider is appropriate because vomiting after surgical repair of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis could indicate a potential complication or issue.

Choice C rationale:

Assuring the mother that vomiting after surgical repair is normal might not be accurate and could dismiss a potentially significant concern.

Choice D rationale:

Telling the mother it is all right to feel anxious doesn't address the vomiting concern directly and might not be the most pertinent response at this time.

"I will take the enzymes with all my meals and snacks.”.

Choice A rationale:

Taking pancreatic enzymes with all meals and snacks is the correct approach. Pancreatic enzymes are essential for aiding digestion and should be taken whenever food is consumed to ensure proper nutrient absorption.

Choice B rationale:

Taking enzymes only with meals is insufficient. Snacks also require enzyme supplementation for effective digestion.

Choice C rationale:

Waiting for complications before taking enzymes is incorrect. Enzymes are necessary for every meal and snack to prevent malabsorption and digestive issues.

Choice D rationale:

Taking enzymes at night before bed is not recommended. Enzymes are needed when food is present in the stomach, which typically occurs during meals and snacks, not before bedtime.
