A toddler who has heart failure
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a toddler who has heart failure. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

B) is not typically seen in heart failure; instead, tachycardia is common due to the heart's compensatory mechanisms. Weight loss (
C) is unlikely as heart failure can lead to fluid retention and weight gain. Increased urine output (
D) is not expected as heart failure often leads to decreased renal perfusion and fluid retention.
