A 46-year-old male client who had a myocardial infarction (MI) 24-hours ago comes to the nurse's station fully dressed and wanting to go home. He tells the nurse that he is feeling much better at this time. Based on this behavior, which client problem should the nurse include in the plan of care?

A. The client's desire to go home so soon after a significant medical event like an MI suggests a possible denial of the severity of his condition and an unwillingness to acknowledge the need for further medical care and recovery time. B. While decisional conflict due to stress could be a concern, the client's behavior does not directly indicate stress about making decisions, but rather a disregard for the gravity of his recent health event. C. Deficient knowledge of lifestyle changes is likely an issue for someone who has just experienced an MI, but the immediate behavior of wanting to leave the hospital does not directly relate to a lack of knowledge about necessary lifestyle changes. D. Anxiety related to the treatment plan could be present, but the client's behavior of wanting to leave the hospital suggests a coping mechanism of denial rather than anxiety about the treatment itself.
