, 1. A patient with chronic heart failure develops
progressive shortness of breath, fatigue, and peripheral
edema. Which pathophysiologic mechanism best explains the
edema?

A. Decreased capillary hydrostatic pressure
B. Increased plasma oncotic pressure
C. Increased capillary hydrostatic pressure
D. Increased lymphatic drainage

Answer: C. Increased capillary hydrostatic pressure

Rationale: Heart failure can increase venous pressure,
raising capillary hydrostatic pressure and pushing fluid
into the interstitial space, producing peripheral edema.




2. Which assessment finding is most characteristic of
left-sided heart failure?

A. Jugular venous distention
B. Pulmonary crackles
C. Dependent peripheral edema
D. Ascites

Answer: B. Pulmonary crackles

Rationale: Left ventricular failure causes blood to back
up into the pulmonary circulation, producing pulmonary
congestion, crackles, dyspnea, and possibly pulmonary
edema.
