Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Measuring weight daily is important in managing heart failure as weight gain can be a sign of fluid retention, a common complication in heart failure. Monitoring and managing fluid intake may also be necessary, but encouraging excessive fluids can actually worsen fluid retention. Measuring I&O weekly may not be frequent enough to properly manage fluid balance, and discontinuing range-of-motion exercises is not necessarily relevant to the care plan for heart failure.
