Answer to Question 1

1
An assessment finding in a client diagnosed with right-sided heart failure is distended neck veins. Oliguria, cough with frothy blood-tinged sputum, and syncope are all clinical manifestations of left-sided heart failure.

Answer to Question 2

2
Blood cultures identify the causative organisms. A basic metabolic panel gives the current status of the client's acid/base balance and electrolytes. The reticulocyte count determines bone marrow function and evaluates erythropoietic activity. The prothrombin time is useful in monitoring anticoagulant therapy.
