Answer to Question 1
D
Ankle swelling is associated with heart failure, although other conditions also can cause it. If this is a new symptom or is occurring even when the patient is not spending a lot of time sitting or standing, the nurse should assess the patient for other symptoms of heart failure. Although the blood pressure is not high, the pulse pressure is wide which does not indicate failure. A pounding headache is most associated with elevated blood pressure. Foul-smelling urine is associated with urinary tract infection.
