Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has right-sided heart failure. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Hepatomegaly is correct. Right-sided heart failure leads to systemic venous congestion, which can cause liver enlargement (hepatomegaly), ascites, and peripheral edema. Dizziness is more commonly associated with left-sided heart failure due to decreased cardiac output. Crackles in the lungs and dry hacking cough are symptoms of left-sided heart failure due to pulmonary congestion.
