Your patient, who is manic, has lost 5 pounds and is underweight. Which meal is most appropriate?

Choice A reason: An exercise stress test can help diagnose coronary artery disease by measuring the heart's ability to respond to external stress in a controlled clinical environment.

Choice B reason: Troponin I is a blood test that measures the levels of troponin T or troponin I proteins in the blood. These proteins are released when the heart muscle has been damaged, such as in a heart attack, which is a common complication of coronary artery disease.

Choice C reason: Cardiac computed tomography (CT) for calcium scoring is a non-invasive way of obtaining information about the presence, location, and extent of calcified plaque in the coronary arteries.

Choice D reason: Radioisotope imaging, such as a nuclear stress test, can show how blood moves to the heart muscle at rest and during stress, helping to diagnose coronary artery disease.

Choice E reason: Angiography involves using X-rays to see your body's blood vessels. Coronary angiography is specifically used to see if your coronary arteries are blocked or narrowed, where they supply blood to your heart.

Choice A reason: While rest may help alleviate nausea, it is not the first action a nurse should take when a client on digoxin reports nausea, as it could be a sign of toxicity.

Choice B reason: A dietary consult may be beneficial in the long term but is not the immediate priority when a client reports nausea, which could be a symptom of digoxin toxicity.

Choice C reason: Requesting an order for an antiemetic is not the first step without assessing whether the nausea is due to digoxin toxicity, which can be life-threatening.

Choice D reason: Checking the client's vital signs is the correct first action because nausea can be a sign of digoxin toxicity, and vital signs may reveal other symptoms of toxicity.
