Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client who has a new diagnosis of pericarditis. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as a manifestation of cardiac tamponade?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Jugular vein distention. In cardiac tamponade, fluid accumulates in the pericardial sac, compressing the heart. This leads to increased pressure in the heart chambers, causing jugular vein distention due to impaired venous return. A: Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia but not specific to cardiac tamponade. C: Bradycardia is not a typical finding in cardiac tamponade as the body tries to compensate for decreased cardiac output. D: Hypotension can be present but is a late sign and not specific to cardiac tamponade.
