New-onset angina : 5 Important Nursing Diagnosis

A patient who has been admitted to the medical unit with new-onset angina also has a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease.

Her husband tells you that he rarely gets a good night’s sleep because he needs to be sure she does not wander during the night. He insists on checking each of the medications you give her to be sure they are the same as the ones she takes at home. Based on this information, which nursing diagnosis is most appropriate for this patient?

A. Decreased Cardiac Output related to poor myocardial contractility
B. Caregiver Role Strain related to continuous need for providing care
C. Ineffective Therapeutic Regimen Management related to poor patient memory
D. Risk for Falls related to patient wandering behavior during the night
