Correct Answer is C

Explanation

“I’m too tired to brush my teeth.” This statement indicates that the client is experiencing fatigue, which is a common symptom of heart failure.
Fatigue can significantly impact a person’s ability to perform daily activities and can be an indication that the client needs a referral for cardiac rehabilitation 1.
Choice A is not the correct answer because weighing oneself daily is a recommended self-monitoring technique for clients with heart failure.
Choice B is not the correct answer because while feeling unhappy can be a symptom of heart failure, it does not necessarily indicate a need for cardiac rehabilitation.
Choice D is not the correct answer because eating a low-sodium diet is a recommended dietary change for clients with heart failure.

A. Motor responses. B. Blood glucose. C. Urinary output. D. Blood pressure.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A change in behavior such as agitation and restlessness in a client with a traumatic brain injury can be a sign of increased intracranial pressure.
The nurse should first assess the client’s blood pressure as an increase in blood pressure can be an indicator of increased intracranial pressure.
Motor responses are not the first assessment that should be performed.
Blood glucose is not the first assessment that should be performed.
Urinary output is not the first assessment that should be performed.
