    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)?

    Explanation & Rationale

    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.
