A nurse is collecting data from a client who is experiencing opioid toxicity. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

"I will try to maintain my blood pressure around 116/72." This is because maintaining blood pressure within a normal range can help prevent heart disease. Choice A is incorrect because increasing dairy intake can lead to a higher intake of saturated fats which can increase the risk of heartdisease.

Choice B is incorrect because lowering, not raising, LDL cholesterol is essential in preventing heart disease.

Choice C is incorrect because exercising only twice a week for 25 minutes is not enough to prevent heart disease.

An explanation for why the other choices are not answers: A – Increasing dairy intake can lead to a higher intake of saturated fats which can increase the risk of heart disease, so this is not the correct statement. B – Lowering, not raising, LDL cholesterol is essential in preventing heart disease, so this is not the correct statement. C – Exercising only twice a week for 25 minutes is not enough to prevent heart disease. Thus, this is not the correct statement.

The correct answer is choice a. Limit fluid intake during meals.

Choice A rationale:

Limiting fluid intake during meals can help prevent the stomach from becoming too full, which can make breathing more difficult for someone with COPD.

Choice B rationale:

Eliminating dairy products is not typically recommended for COPD patients unless they have a specific intolerance or allergy. Dairy does not generally affect COPD symptoms.

Choice C rationale:

Consuming three regular meals daily might be challenging for COPD patients who often have reduced appetite and may benefit more from smaller, frequent meals.

Choice D rationale:

Eating lighter, low-calorie foods first is not advisable for COPD patients who need nutrient-dense foods to maintain their energy levels and overall health.
