A nurse is assessing a client who has left-sided heart failure. Which of
the following findings should the nurse identify as a manifestation of
left-sided heart failure?
Dependent edema
The nurse should identify that dependent edema is a manifestation of
right-sided heart failure due to right ventricular failure and fluid
retention from pressure building up in the venous system.
Jugular distention
The nurse should identify that jugular vein distention is a manifestation
of right-sided heart failure due to right ventricular failure and fluid
retention from pressure building up in the venous system.
Weight gain
The nurse should identify that weight gain is a manifestation of
rightsided heart failure due to right ventricular failure and fluid
retention from pressure building up in the venous system.
Frothy sputum
MY ANSWER
The nurse should identify that frothy sputum, dyspnea, and wheezing
are manifestations of left-sided heart failure. Treatment includes fluid
restriction and diuretics to decrease preload and reduce pulmonary
congestion. Pink-tinged frothy sputum can be an early indication of
