Explanation:

Sinus tachycardia can be exacerbated by caffeine, which is a stimulant. Eliminating caffeine sources helps reduce cardiac stimulation. Limiting fluids isn't related to sinus tachycardia management here. Measuring pulse each shift is insufficient (should be more frequent). Short, frequent walks may increase heart rate, worsening tachycardia. So eliminating caffeine is the correct nursing action.

Answer:

1. Eliminating sources of caffeine from meal trays
