Question 1 of 5
What assessment finding would indicate the patient's left-sided heart failure is worsening?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Increased crackles in lung fields. Worsening left-sided heart failure causes fluid to accumulate in the lungs, leading to crackles on auscultation. Increased jugular venous pressure (
A) is more indicative of right-sided heart failure. Liver enlargement (
B) is a sign of congestive hepatomegaly, common in right-sided heart failure. Increased pulse rate (
C) may indicate heart failure exacerbation but is not specific to left-sided failure.
Therefore, choice D is the best indicator of worsening left-sided heart failure.
