Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nursing diagnosis of decreased cardiac output indicates that there is an inadequate amount of blood being pumped by the heart, which can lead to decreased tissue perfusion. The desired outcome would be for the client to maintain adequate tissue perfusion, which is indicated by a normal blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation level. A and D are not directly related to the nursing diagnosis and B is not a relevant outcome for treating bradycardia.
