Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has right-sided heart failure. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as a manifestation of right-sided heart failure?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Increased abdominal girth. In right-sided heart failure, the heart is unable to efficiently pump blood to the lungs for oxygenation, leading to fluid backup in the systemic circulation. This results in fluid retention, particularly in the abdomen, causing increased abdominal girth. Crackles in the lungs (choice
A) are indicative of left-sided heart failure. Pink frothy sputum (choice
C) is a sign of pulmonary edema, which is a manifestation of left-sided heart failure. Hypertension (choice
D) is not typically associated with right-sided heart failure.
