Final answer:
The plan of care for the 75-year-old client with a history of heart failure needs revision due to their unmanaged symptoms and high blood pressure. Other clients are showing expected or stable progress.
Step-by-step explanation:
Among the four clients described, the nurse should identify the need to revise the plan of care for the 75-year-old client with a history of heart failure who is experiencing shortness of breath and has a blood pressure of 180/100 mmHg. This client's symptoms and elevated blood pressure indicate that their heart failure is not being effectively managed, which can lead to further complications, and possibly worsening of their condition. The current plan of care should be evaluated and likely needs to be revised to better address the client's needs, possibly with adjustments in medication, dietary changes, or additional interventions to control blood pressure and manage heart failure symptoms.
The other clients seem to be within expected progress or stable conditions. The 50-year-old with pneumonia is afebrile and has a normal respiratory rate, indicating recovery. The 30-year-old with type 1 diabetes may require adjustment in their diabetes management, but if their high blood glucose level is a one-off reading, it might not necessitate an immediate plan revision without further assessment. The 60-year-old with COPD being able to walk 200 feet on a 6-minute walk test while using oxygen indicates a level of functional capacity that might be within the goals for their condition.
