    A client is being discharged home after being treated for heart failure (HF). Which instruction should the nurse include in this client's discharge teaching plan?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Choice A reason: While nutrition is important, a high-protein diet is not specific to the management of heart failure. Choice B reason: Weighing every morning allows for monitoring of fluid retention, which is a key aspect of managing heart failure. Choice C reason: Range of motion exercises are good for overall health but are not specific to heart failure management. Choice D reason: Limiting fluid intake is important, but it is more critical to monitor weight daily to detect fluid retention early.
