Question 5 of 5
A client with heart failure is receiving intravenous fluids at 125 ml/hour. The nurse observes an increase in jugular vein distention and pedal edema. Which additional assessment should the nurse make before reporting to the healthcare provider?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Before reporting worsening heart failure signs like jugular vein distention and pedal edema, the nurse should assess for a change in breathing pattern. These symptoms suggest fluid overload, which can lead to pulmonary edema, a life-threatening complication. Altered breathing (e.g., dyspnea, crackles) indicates the heart's inability to handle the IV fluid load, necessitating urgent intervention like diuretics or rate adjustment. Calf inflammation, vein distention, and pulse volume are less immediate than respiratory status in this context.
