A nurse is assessing a client who has right-sided heart failure. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

Rationale: A. Crackles are more commonly associated with left-sided heart failure, due to pulmonary congestion from fluid backing up into the lungs. B. While a murmur can be present in some cardiac conditions, it is not a hallmark finding specific to right-sided heart failure. C. Chest pain may occur with ischemic heart disease or myocardial infarction but is not a classic symptom of right-sided heart failure. D. Right-sided heart failure leads to systemic venous congestion, causing fluid accumulation in dependent areas such as the legs, ankles, and feet, which is a hallmark sign of right-sided heart failure.
