The nursing intervention plan should begin with the patient’s education within the context of CHF. The daily fluid intake should be appropriate and should include all liquids taken per day, such as tea, juice, soup, fruits, and vegetables. When dry mouth and thirst arise, rinse the mouth, add lemon or ice to the water, and take a little sip of water. The daily rate of sodium chloride is a teaspoon, and it should be remembered that salt is added to food, so one does not have to add salt to ready-made meals and does not eat salty foods (WebMD, 2020). It is advised to abstain from all alcoholic beverages and to quit smoking.
Body weight control is suggested every day on an empty stomach in the same clothes as the self-control journal. Self-control signs include blood pressure measurement twice a day in the morning and evening, as well as pulse control. These indicators must be noted in the patient’s diary, which can be maintained by a nurse so that they can be shown to the attending physician at the next appointment (NurseStudy.Net, 2020). Walking, swimming, and cycling are the best forms of exercise for patients. Physical training is easier, to begin with, exercises that do not demand the support of one’s own weight. A nurse is also required to check vital indicators at least every 4 hours.
