Question

The client with cardiac failure is taught to report which symptom to the health care provider or clinic immediately?

Answer 1

The client with cardiac failure is taught to report the symptom of persistent cough to the health care provider or clinic immediately. Cardiac failure also known as congestive heart failure occurs when the heart is unable to adequately pump blood to the body. As a result, all of the body's major processes break down due to insufficient blood flow.

Cardiac failure tends to stiffen or weaken your heart. In some people with cardiac failure, the heart has difficulty pumping enough blood to support other organs in the body. Other people may have a hardening and stiffening of the heart muscle itself, which blocks or reduces blood flow to the heart. Heart failure symptoms may include:

• Fatigue and weakness
• Shortness of breath
• Swelling in legs and belly
• Nausea and lack of appetite
• Persistent cough
• Very rapid weight gain from fluid build up
• Irregular or rapid heartbeat

Persistent cough is one of the main symptoms of heart failure. It may be an indication of cardiac failure if you have persistent cough that produces white or pink mucus. This occurs when the blood leaks back into the lungs as a result of the heart's inability to keep up with the body's needs.
