SOLVED4508
What part of the teaching must a nurse provide to a patient who has a diagnosis of heart failure for home monitoring of their condition? Avoid crowded spaces due to increased susceptibility to infections secondary to immunodepression. Keep track of their caloric intake since excess dietary consumption of carbohydrates is the main cause of weight gain in heart failure. Increase fluid intake to prevent dehydration because heart failure causes significant polyuria. Monitor daily weights and report any weight increase of 2-3 lb. in one day or 3-5 lb. in one week and avoid excess dietary sodium consumption.
