Feedback:
During the client education of a client with angina, the nurse should emphasize the need for the client to quit smoking. The nurse should also instruct the client to purchase a fresh supply of nitroglycerin every 3, not 6, months. The client should regularly exercise and maintain an ideal weight; this helps prevent the disease's progression. The client need not avoid traveling or sitting for a lengthy time; these factors have no implications on the client's condition.
