A patient hospitalised with aortic stenosis has activity intolerance related to insufficient oxygen due to decreased cardiac output. An appropriate nursing intervention for this patient is to: Select one: a. Progressively increase activity to increase cardiac tolerance b. Maintain on bed rest to reduce tissue oxygen demands c. Monitor electrocardiography to assess cardiac output d. Use a Semi-Fowler position to decrease venous return and increase respiratory excursion.?
