Nursing care of the infant and child with congestive heart failure would include which of the following?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Infants and children with congestive heart failure (CHF) have increased metabolic demands and often experience fatigue with activity. Organizing care to allow uninterrupted sleep and frequent rest periods helps conserve energy and promotes recovery. B. Forcing fluids can be dangerous in CHF due to the risk of fluid overload, which can worsen symptoms like pulmonary edema. C. While monitoring respiratory status is important, continuous monitoring during active periods is not a standard or necessary nursing intervention. D. Giving larger feedings less often is not appropriate, as it can lead to fatigue and increased oxygen demand. Instead, smaller, more frequent feedings are recommended to conserve energy.
