D. 90 mm Hg 83. A client admitted for a lower extremity deep vein thrombosis is experiencing dyspnea , chest pain, and diminished breath sounds The nurse suspects this client may be developing which condition? A. Pneumothorax B. Pulmonary hypertension C. Pulmonary embolism D. Hemothorax 84. A client is experiencing acute pulmonary edema. What is the best position for the nurse to place the client in? A. Lying flat in bed B. Left side-lying C. High Fowler's position

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. Pulmonary embolism.Explanation: The client's symptoms of dyspnea (difficulty breathing), chest pain, and diminished breath sounds are indicative of a pulmonary embolism. A pulmonary embolism occurs when a blood clot travels to the lungs, blocking a blood vessel. This can lead to decreased oxygenation and impaired breathing. The other options, such as pneumothorax, pulmonary hypertension, and hemothorax, do not fully align with the client's symptoms.84. The correct answer is C. High Fowler's position.Explanation: For a client experiencing acute pulmonary edema, the best position is High Fowler's position. This position involves sitting upright with the upper body elevated at a 45-60 degree angle. It helps to maximize lung expansion and improve oxygenation by reducing the pressure of the fluid on the lungs. Lying flat in bed or the left side- as effective in alleviating the symptoms of pulmonary edema.
