Need help with a care plan!

the reason for a cardiac low fat nas diet and restricted fluids is not going to be found in the renal chapters. physicians treatments aren't all that different from nursing treatments. they break down the medical diseases into their component signs and symptoms and often order treatments for each of the signs and symptoms. this patient has other medical problems beside a uti. look at the h&p or at the medications that the doctor has ordered for the patient for more clues as to what is going on. this patient probably has chf (congestive heart failure) or cad (coronary artery disease) which is why the no added salt and low fat diet was ordered. salt and fluid restricted diets would be appropriate for both medical diagnoses.
