Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Peripheral edema is an expected assessment finding in the client diagnosed with right-sided heart failure. Dyspnea is an expected assessment finding in the client diagnosed with left-sided heart failure. Confusion is a symptom of hypoventilation. Dizziness is an expected assessment finding in the client experiencing hypoxia.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Epigastric pain is a symptom of a myocardial infarction in women. Visual disturbances, loss of motor function unilaterally, and right scapular discomfort and stiffness are not symptoms of a myocardial infarction in women.
