Explanation:
Angina Pectoris, which can also be referred to as stable angina, is a temporary chest pain that doesn’t last up to 20 minutes. This pain is triggered when one engages in stressful physical activity or is emotionally stressed, causing reduced blood flow to the heart, which results in insufficient supply of oxygen to the myocardium.
The client stating that the pain occurred while mowing the lawn, strongly suggests angina pectoris,which is triggered by physical activity, as a result of the heart muscles not getting enough oxygen.

The nurse is reading about the evidence-based practice approach (PBE).
Explanation:
The Evidence-Based Practice approach is a type of approach based on the solution of problems in clinical practice where the main scientific evidence and information about the patient is integrated with a clinical expertise as well as preferences and values of the patients. This approach consists of seven steps:
Step 1: Cultivate the inventive spirit by excellent practice.
Step 2: Express clinical questions accurately and objectively through the PICOT format.
Step 3: Find the best scientific evidence found.
Step 4: Critically assess the evidence found.
Step 5: Compose the evidence through clinical expertise and patient preferences for the best decision.
Step 6: Assess the results based on evidence.
Step 7: Disseminate the results.
BID, TID, and QID are terms used by doctors for prescribing medicines. BID in Latin stands for <em>bis in die</em>, which means twice a day. When the doctor prescribes a drug with BID priority, it means that the nurse should give it twice, normally with a 12-hour interval. TID stands for <em>ter in die</em>. This means it should be administered three times a day. If this is the prescription of the doctor, the medicine should be given three times within 24 hours. This is within an 8-hour interval. Lastly is QID. In Latin, this means <em>quater in die</em> which means four times a day. Usually, this has a 6-hour interval.
