SOLVED2986

A client with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), who ingests more than 3,000 calories/day to gain weight, now reports increased breathing difficulty. The client states, “I thought that if I gained weight by eating more, I would feel better.” How should the nurse respond to the client’s concern? “An increase in both calories and carbohydrates can lead to increased respiratory effort and clinical symptoms that you are having.” “The increase in calories is not as important as an increase in the fat percentage in the diet.” “It is not necessary to increase caloric intake because medication therapy can be given to help with desired weight gain.” “An increase in high-quality proteins will help correct the respiratory symptoms.”
