A nurse is caring for a client who has bounding pulses, crackles on auscultation, and pink frothy secretions when receiving suctioning.

The nurse should recognize these assessment findings as indicating which of the following?

Increased cardiac output.

Pleural effusion.

Fluid volume excess.

Aspiration.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

“Fluid volume excess.” Bounding pulses, crackles on auscultation, and pink frothy secretions when receiving suctioning are all signs of fluid volume excess.
Fluid volume excess can occur when the heart is unable to pump blood efficiently, causing fluid to build up in the lungs.
Choice A is not the correct answer because the increased cardiac output would not cause these symptoms.
Choice B is not the correct answer because pleural effusion refers to a buildup of fluid between the layers of tissue that line the lungs and chest cavity, which would not cause these symptoms.
Choice D is not the correct answer because aspiration refers to the inhalation of food, liquid, or other substances into the lungs, which would not cause these symptoms.
