his problem Your patient has been diagnosed with right ventricular failure. Which of the following abnormalities is not a direct result of this problem?
Pulmonary edema (fluid in the alveoli)
Distension of the jugular veins of the neck
Swelling of the lower extremities
Liver margin palpable two finger breadths below the right costal mar
Ventricular failure is a cardiac failure that does not allow the heart to work efficiently in one of the ventricles, causing various problems in the body.
Right ventricular failure occurs in the right ventricle and causes a serious accumulation of fluids in the abdominal region. This type of insufficiency does not generate pulmonary endema, but it can cause the distension of the jugular veins in the neck, swelling in the peripheral regions, in addition to providing an increase in the liver margin, leaving it palpable below the costal margin.
