Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for an older adult patient with left-sided heart failure. What assessment findings should the nurse expect? What finding should the nurse expect in left-sided heart failure?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Frothy sputum. In left-sided heart failure, the failing left ventricle results in blood backing up into the lungs causing pulmonary congestion. This leads to the production of frothy, pink-tinged sputum due to blood-tinged fluid leaking into the alveoli. Dependent edema (choice
B) is more indicative of right-sided heart failure. Nocturnal polyuria (choice
C) is not a typical finding in left-sided heart failure. Jugular distention (choice
D) is more commonly seen in right-sided heart failure due to increased venous pressure.
