Generalized Edema
The formation of peripheral or sacral edema is a symptom related to right-sided heart
failure.
*Distension of the jugular vein is a sign of right-sided heart failure.
Clinical manifestations may include weak pulse, poor color and cool temperature in
extremities, dyspnea or shortness of breath, fatigue and crackles heard on auscultation
in clients with BLANK-sided heart failure. - ANSWER LEFT
A nursing student is receiving instruction about valvular diseases from the RN. Which
example of a valvular disease given by a nursing student indicates further teaching is
needed? - ANSWER Pericarditis
RATIONAL: is an inflammation of the pericardium that's a membrane near the heart. This
is not a kind of valvular disease.
valvular diseases - ANSWER PROLAPSE
REGURDITATION
STENOSIS
BLANK is a valvular disease. This involves the stiffening and thickening of the valve. -
ANSWER Stenosis
, Flow of blood in the reverse direction is called BLANK or insufficiency. It is a kind of
valvular disease - ANSWER regurgitation
BLANK is a valvular disease caused by the prolapsing motion of the valve leaflets during
systole. - ANSWER Prolapse
Embolic events are often a complication of BLANK-sided IE and are rarely seen in
BLANK-sided IE. - ANSWER LEFT; RARE IN RIGHT
BLANK-sided emboli may travel to the CNS, which can cause a stroke. The
