A nurse is assessing a client who has pulmonary edema. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

A.

Bradycardia

B.

Wheezing

C.

Pale, Dry Skin

D.

Pink, frothy sputum

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

Rationale: 

 

A. Bradycardia is not typically associated with pulmonary edema; instead, tachycardia is more common as the body tries to compensate for decreased oxygenation. 

 

B. Wheezing may occur in certain respiratory conditions but is not a classic finding in pulmonary edema; instead, crackles or rales are more expected due to fluid accumulation. 

 

C. Pale, dry skin is not characteristic of pulmonary edema; the client may present with cyanosis or clammy skin due to hypoxia. 

 

D. Pink, frothy sputum is a classic sign of pulmonary edema, indicating fluid in the alveoli and is often associated with acute heart failure.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Rationale:

A. Speaking loudly in a high-pitched voice is not effective for individuals with sensorineural hearing loss, as they may struggle with high-frequency sounds.

B. Asking the client's partner to choose their meal removes the client's autonomy and does not facilitate direct communication.

C. While expecting extended time for verbal responses is considerate, it does not provide a practical solution for meal selection.

D. Asking the client to point to items on a picture menu is an effective way to facilitate communication, allowing the client to express their preferences without relying on verbal communication alone.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Rationale:

A. Early decelerations are typically benign and often associated with head compression, not necessitating an emergency cesarean birth.

B. A knee-chest position is generally used for variable decelerations but is not indicated for early decelerations.

C. Continuous internal monitoring may be necessary in certain situations, but in the case of early decelerations, it is not an immediate intervention.

D. Early decelerations usually require continued monitoring without immediate intervention as they typically resolve spontaneously with contractions.
