Question 1 of 5

The nurse is caring for a client diagnosed with acute pulmonary edema. Which psychosocial strategy should the nurse plan to incorporate into the care of the client?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Reducing anxiety will help the client during treatment to increase cardiac output and decrease fluid volume. When cardiac output falls as a result of acute pulmonary edema, the sympathetic nervous system is stimulated. Stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system results in the fight-or-flight reaction, which further impairs cardiac function. A disturbed body image is not a common problem among clients with acute pulmonary edema.
