A client is recovering from coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. The nurse knows that for several weeks after this procedure, the client is at risk for certain conditions. During discharge preparation, the nurse should advise the client and family to expect which common, spontaneously resolving symptom
A. Depression.
B. Ankle edema.
C. Memory lapses.
D. Dizziness.
参考答案：A
解析：For the first few weeks after CABG surgery, clients commonly experience depression, fatigue, chest discomfort from the incision, dyspnea, and anorexia. Depression typically resolves on its own and doesn’t require medical intervention. Ankle edema rarely follows CABG surgery and may indicate right-sided heart failure; because this condition is a sign of cardiac dysfunction, the client should report ankle edema at once. Memory lapses reflect neurologic rather than cardiac dysfunction. Dizziness may result from decreased cardiac output, an abnormal condition after CABG surgery that should be reported immediately to the physician.
