Rationale: Activity intolerance post-myocardial infarction reflects reduced cardiac capacity. An outcome like ambulating 50 feet without dyspnea (B) is specific, measurable, and aligns with improving tolerance. Smoking cessation (A) is unrelated, no dyspnea on exertion (C) is vague, and tolerating activity (D) lacks specificity, making B correct.

Rationale: Keeping the drainage bag below the bladder at all times (B) ensures gravity drainage, preventing urine reflux and infection during mobility. Setting the bag on the floor (A) risks contamination, clamping tubing (C) blocks flow and raises pressure, and looping below entry (D) may kink tubing, making B the action showing correct understanding.
