A 55-year-old male was admitted to the hospital with heart failure. he complains of increasing shortness of breath on exertion and needing to sleep on three pillows at night. on physical assessment, the nurse determines that his ankles and feet are very swollen. which of these symptoms reflect left-sided heart failure and which reflect right-sided heart failure?
+increasing shortness of breath on exertion and needing to sleep on three pillow = Left sided heart failure +ankles and feet are very swollen= Right sided
