A nurse is providing education to a client who has a coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Which of the following should the nurse include in the teaching?
ans. b. Begin walking half of a mile every day.
Rationale:
It is advisable to do the Walking and mild exercise regularly after bypass surgery. Climbing of stairs is also recommended. It is considered as one of the rehabilitation technique and difficulties in walking can give a clue of any complications. Hence option b is correct.
Usually, the patient has to take rest completely for at least 6 to 8 weeks. Returning to work is advisable after one or two months because traveling and weight lifting increase the complication.

Nitrates are advisable for patients post-surgery in case of any untreated coronary blocks. It is safe to use by the patient itself. Hence option a,c,d is incorrect.
