Extract:
A client with a myocardial infarction.
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client with a myocardial infarction. The client questions the need for cardiac rehabilitation since 'my heart is already damaged.' Which of the following is the appropriate nursing response?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because it acknowledges the client's concern about the already damaged heart while also highlighting the benefits of cardiac rehabilitation. By stating that cardiac rehabilitation cannot undo the damage but can help the client safely return to previous activity levels, the nurse addresses the client's worry and emphasizes the importance of the program in improving the client's quality of life.
Choice A is incorrect as it does not directly address the client's concern about the heart damage, focusing instead on the benefits of diet and exercise.
Choice B is incorrect as it minimizes the client's feelings and does not provide assurance about the benefits of cardiac rehabilitation.
Choice D is incorrect as it deflects responsibility to the doctor without addressing the client's concerns or providing information about cardiac rehabilitation.
