, SECTION A: Cardiovascular Disorders (Questions 1-15)
Question 1
A nurse is assessing a client with heart failure who has gained 2 kg (4.4 lb) in 24
hours. Which of the following findings should the nurse prioritize?
A) Dyspnea on exertion
B) Jugular venous distention
C) Peripheral edema
D) Fatigue
Rationale: Jugular venous distention is a direct indicator of increased central
venous pressure, reflecting worsening heart failure. While dyspnea, edema, and
fatigue are important, JVD specifically indicates right-sided heart failure and fluid
overload requiring immediate intervention. Weight gain of 1 kg (2.2 lb) equals
approximately 1 L of fluid retention.
Question 2
A nurse is caring for a client following a cardiac catheterization via the femoral
artery. Which of the following findings requires immediate intervention?
A) Small amount of bleeding at the insertion site
B) Loss of pulse in the affected extremity
C) Pain rated 3 on a 0-10 scale at the site
D) Bruising around the insertion site
Rationale: Loss of pulse in the affected extremity indicates possible arterial
occlusion or thrombus formation, which can lead to tissue ischemia and loss of
limb. This is a medical emergency requiring immediate notification of the provider.
Small bleeding, mild pain, and bruising are expected findings.
