Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Excess fluid volume is a common nursing diagnosis for patients with acute systolic heart failure due to the accumulation of fluid in the body caused by the heart's inability to pump efficiently. Disturbed body image, imbalanced nutrition, and ineffective airway clearance may not be directly related to the patient's condition and therefore would not be the priority nursing diagnosis for this patient.
