A nurse is assessing a client who has pulmonary edema. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect? (Select all that apply.)

A. Crackles in the lungs: Pulmonary edema causes fluid accumulation in the alveoli, leading to crackles or rales heard during auscultation of the lungs. B. Jugular vein distension: Increased pressure in the pulmonary circulation can lead to right-sided heart strain, resulting in visible jugular venous distension. C. Persistent, dry cough: Cough in pulmonary edema is typically productive, often associated with pink, frothy sputum due to fluid leakage into the alveoli. D. Frothy, blood-tinged sputum: A hallmark sign of pulmonary edema, this occurs as fluid mixed with blood leaks into the alveoli and airways due to high pulmonary capillary pressure. E. Bradycardia: Pulmonary edema is typically associated with tachycardia as a compensatory response to hypoxia and impaired cardiac output, not bradycardia.
