The nurse is caring for a client scheduled for a cardiac stress test at 1100. When the nurse enters the client’s room at 0800, the client requests toast or at least some coffee. What is the best response by the nurse? Ask the client’s visitor to bring some coffee from the cafeteria for the client. Explain that no food or drink is allowed for 4 hours before the stress test. Offer hot tea or coffee only. Make up a small breakfast tray from what is available on the unit.
