Q

Maintain low-salt diet - impact on occupational performance

A

91
Q

Record daily weight - impact on occupational performance

A

CHF clients may need a scale with large numbers and system setup for recording their daily weight. Scale may need to be in a place where client can hold on to something stable while stepping on and off.

92
Q

Follow recommended oral and inhaled medication schedule - impact on occupational performance

A

Visual reminders and environmental set up may be needed. Dedicated site when doing breathing treatments help.

93
Q

No activities at a MET rate of higher than 6 - impact on occupational performance

A

Clients will have limited tasks that they can complete until this precaution is lifted. Higher met values may not be permitted for many weeks.
