The nurse reminds the 80-year-old patient that her respiratory system has decreased resistance to respiratory infections. For what is this patient at increased risk?

A. Increase activity to promote mobility. While moderate activity is beneficial, excessive activity can exacerbate symptoms of SLE.
B. Increase exposure to the sun to increase vitamin D absorption. Sun exposure can trigger lupus flares, so it should be minimized.
C. Increase sodium consumption. Increased sodium intake is not recommended as it can lead to hypertension, a common concern in SLE patients.
D. Maintain a balance between rest and activity. Balancing rest and activity helps manage fatigue and prevent symptom exacerbation in SLE.

A. Abstaining from drug use: Abstinence is crucial, but rehabilitation also involves addressing underlying issues and developing coping strategies.
B. Establishing a support system: Support systems are important, but the primary focus is addressing addiction-related problems.
C. Addressing the problems related to addiction: Comprehensive rehabilitation involves identifying and addressing the root causes and consequences of addiction.
D. Seeking and maintaining employment: Employment is beneficial, but it is a part of broader rehabilitation goals focused on addiction-related issues.
