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

The correct answer is C. Pulmonary embolism.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />84. The correct answer is C. High Fowler's position.<br /><br />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.
