A client was admitted to the hospital with iron deficiency anemia and blood-streaked emesis. Which question is most appropriate for the nurse to ask in determining the extent of the client's activity intolerance?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
To assess activity intolerance, the nurse should compare the client's current activity level with their previous capabilities. Asking about specific activities performed 6 months ago versus now provides concrete data on the extent of intolerance. The other questions are less specific and do not directly quantify changes in activity capacity.
