Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the history and physical of a client who has right ventricular heart failure. Which of the following is an expected finding?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Elevated pulmonary artery pressure. In right ventricular heart failure, the right side of the heart is unable to effectively pump blood to the lungs, leading to increased pressure in the pulmonary artery. This can result in symptoms such as dyspnea, fatigue, and edema. Crepitus (
A) is not typically associated with right ventricular heart failure. Hepatosplenomegaly (
C) is more commonly seen in conditions like liver cirrhosis. Confusion (
D) may occur in severe cases of heart failure but is not a specific finding for right ventricular failure.
