Question

Which of the following assessment findings would be expected in pulmonary embolism (PE)? A) Chest painB) TachycardiaC) TachypneaD) FeverE) Hemoptysis

Answer 1

Answer:

All the options are correct

Explanation:

Pulmonary embolism is marked by the obstruction of lung arteries by compounds that move through the bloodstream, generally from a blood clot in legs that moves to the lungs. This condition may include symptoms such as, among others, chest pain, rapid heart rate (tachycardia), respiration rate greater than normal (tachypnea), blood-stained mucus or coughing up of blood (hemoptysis) and fever. Pulmonary embolism may be prevented by moderate-low exercises and by anticoagulants.
