On a clinical rotation, you encounter Mr. Kalani, who has left-sided heart failure. This means that
the left side of his heart is not pumping enough blood to meet tissue needs. Because the heart
doesn't pump enough blood out, blood backs up. In the case of left-sided heart failure, blood
backs up into the _____1____ circuit. When blood backs up, fluid leaks from the affected
capillaries into the tissues. (Excess fluid in the tissues is called edema.) You would expect Mr.
Kalani to have _____2______ as a direct result of this edema.
swelling of his abdomen
pain in his head
pulmonary
systemic
swelling of his feet and legs
shortness of breath
1) pulmonary
2) shortness of breath
