Which action by the nurse will determine if therapies ordered for a patient with chronic constrictive pericarditis are effective?
Correct Answer: Jugular venous distention (JVD) is a common sign of chronic constrictive pericarditis. If JVD is not present, it may indicate that the therapies are effective. ST segment changes, sedimentation rate, and paradoxical pulse are not specific to this condition.
