Question Image

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: The ability to comply with anticoagulant therapy for life. This is essential because mechanical valve replacement requires lifelong anticoagulant therapy to prevent clot formation. Noncompliance can lead to serious complications such as thromboembolism or valve failure. Assessing the client's understanding, willingness, and ability to adhere to this therapy is crucial for successful outcomes.
Other options are incorrect because:
B: Body image problems are important but not essential before surgery.
C: Physical demands of lifestyle are relevant but not crucial for valve replacement.
D: Participation in cardiac rehab is beneficial post-surgery but not essential before.
Overall, the ability to comply with anticoagulant therapy is the most critical factor to assess preoperatively.
