Preschool-age child with heart failure


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is teaching home care to the parents of a preschool-age child who has heart failure. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Provide for periods of rest. This is essential in managing heart failure as rest helps reduce the workload on the heart. By allowing the child to rest, the heart can recover and function more efficiently. It also helps prevent fatigue and conserves energy.
Incorrect

Choices:
B: Increasing oxygen flow rate until cyanosis resolves is not a recommended practice as it can lead to oxygen toxicity and does not address the underlying cause of heart failure.
C: Withholding digoxin if the child's pulse is greater than 100/min is incorrect as digoxin is commonly used in managing heart failure to improve heart function.
D: Weighing the child once a month is not sufficient for monitoring fluid retention, which is crucial in heart failure management. Frequent weight monitoring is necessary to detect changes early.
