Ans:
A

Feedback:

Both increased and decreased urine output can be markers of heart failure, as can changes in mental status not attributable to other factors. While heart auscultation, pedal pulses, and activity tolerance are relevant parameters, integumentary inspection, pupil response, and pain assessment are less likely to be relevant assessment components.
