A nurse is collecting data from a client who is taking metoprolol. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

A. Eat lighter, low-calorie foods first: While light foods can be easier to consume, prioritizing low-calorie foods may not address the client's nutritional needs. The focus should be on high-calorie, high-protein foods to maintain weight and strength.
B. Limit fluid intake during meals: This is correct as limiting fluid intake during meals can help prevent bloating and early satiety, which can be an issue for clients with COPD who have reduced appetite.
C. Eliminate dairy products: There is no general indication to eliminate dairy products unless the client has a specific intolerance or allergy. Dairy products are not universally problematic for clients with COPD.
D. Consume three regular meals daily: Clients with COPD may benefit from smaller, more frequent meals rather than three large meals to prevent feelings of fullness that can reduce appetite and increase shortness of breath.

A. Limit physical activity until bladder continence is achieved: Limiting physical activity is not recommended and can impact overall health. Encouraging regular activity may help improve bladder function and overall well-being.
B. Encourage the client to contract the abdominal muscles when they experience the urge to void: Contracting the abdominal muscles is not typically recommended for managing incontinence. The focus should be on bladder training and strengthening the pelvic floor muscles.
C. Instruct the client to void as soon as they feel the urge: This approach may not support bladder training, which aims to increase the time between voids to improve bladder control.
D. Instruct the client to void at scheduled times throughout the day: This is correct as scheduled voiding helps retrain the bladder, gradually increasing the intervals between voids and improving continence.
