Assessment of an older adult client reveals bilateral pitting edema of the client's feet and ankles; difficult to palpate pedal pulses; breath sounds clear on auscultation; oxygen saturation level of 93% (0.93); and vital signs normal. what is this client's most likely health problem?

Right-sided heart failure

Explanation:

Heart failure is different from patient to patient and the parts of the heart affected, the resulting symptoms and the time course of the onset of heart failure can vary greatly. For this reason, different medical terms are used to describe exactly the different types of heart failure.

In right-sided heart failure, the right pumping chamber or ventricle, which pumps blood to the lungs, is compromised. This could be due to a muscle injury such as a heart attack in the right ventricle, valve damage on the right side of the heart or high pressure in the lungs. In this case, although the patient has normal vital signs, he may have foot or ankle rash, oxygen saturation level of 0.93, clear breathing on auscultation, among other symptoms. With this, we can conclude that the patient exposed in the question above probably has heart failure on the right side.

it's a common sense question think with coll head now there is the options for you - a) it's a wrong question b)in his dream c) he is dead d)sleeping during the night time

explanation:

the aorta is the large artery leaving the heart branches into smaller arteries, which eventually branch into capillaries.the arteries carry oxygen and nutrients away from your heart, to your body's tissues. the capillaries are small, thin blood vessels that connect the arteries and the veins. the statement that arteries carry oxygen-rich blood to capillaries is true. veins on the other hand are blood vessels that take oxygen-poor blood back to the heart.
