A client with endocarditis is receiving antibiotic therapy. Which priority should the practical nurse (PN) consider in planning this client's care and activities of daily living (ADL)?

A. Constipation and dietary modification: Not the primary concern for endocarditis; activity tolerance is more important. B. Sequencing activities with rest periods: Clients with endocarditis experience fatigue due to infection and cardiac workload; rest is essential. C. Oral antibiotic administration: Route of administration is less important than ensuring completion of treatment, often given IV. D. Personal hygiene and oral care: Important but not the priority over conserving energy.
