A client who has heart failure should be taught to conserve energy.Gathering all supplies needed for a chore at one time decreases the amount of energy needed.The client should not walk until becoming short of breath because he or she may not make it back home.Pushing a cart takes less energy than pulling or lifting.Although walking after dinner may help the client,the nurse should teach the client to complete activities when he or she has the most energy.This is usually in the morning.
