Answer to Question 1

1. Coordinator

Rationale:
The nurse is solving problems and planning care for the client by coordinating and collaborating with the other health team members who will participate in client care. All members of the team may be experts, but the level of expertise is not the role the nurse is exhibiting. The nurse is not responsible for how the members of the health team perform their jobs as a team leader would be. The nurse is not acting as an authoritarian in this case; the nurse is planning care and coordination.

Answer to Question 2

3. Reduced circulation to the pulmonary structures

Rationale:
Circulation to the pulmonary structures begins with the right side of the heart. The client with right heart failure will have reduced circulation to these structures. There is no evidence to suggest that right heart failure will cause indigestion or reduced urine output. Not all clients with right heart failure experience leg cramps.
