Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client who has heart failure two months after the implementation of a quality improvement initiative to reduce the hospital readmission rate. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as an indication the quality improvement initiative is successful?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Decreased brain natriuretic peptide levels. Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a biomarker that indicates the severity of heart failure. A decrease in BNP levels suggests an improvement in the client's heart failure condition. This indicates that the quality improvement initiative has been successful in managing the client's heart failure effectively.

A: Presence of jugular vein distention - This finding indicates fluid overload and worsening heart failure, not improvement.
B: Increased weight of 2.27 kg (5 lb) in one week - This indicates fluid retention and worsening heart failure, not improvement.
D: Development of S3 heart sounds - S3 heart sounds are associated with heart failure and indicate worsening of the condition, not improvement.
