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.

The first documented use of surgical anesthesia in the United States was in Connecticut in 1844.

Did you know?

It is believed that the Incas used anesthesia. Evidence supports the theory that shamans chewed cocoa leaves and drilled holes into the heads of patients (letting evil spirits escape), spitting into the wounds they made. The mixture of cocaine, saliva, and resin numbed the site enough to allow hours of drilling.

Did you know?

The use of salicylates dates back 2,500 years to Hippocrates's recommendation of willow bark (from which a salicylate is derived) as an aid to the pains of childbirth. However, overdosage of salicylates can harm body fluids, electrolytes, the CNS, the GI tract, the ears, the lungs, the blood, the liver, and the kidneys and cause coma or death.

Did you know?

People with alcoholism are at a much greater risk of malnutrition than are other people and usually exhibit low levels of most vitamins (especially folic acid). This is because alcohol often takes the place of 50% of their daily intake of calories, with little nutritional value contained in it.

Did you know?

Cucumber slices relieve headaches by tightening blood vessels, reducing blood flow to the area, and relieving pressure.
