Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Lymph nodes are usually described as enlarged or swollen, not "lumped." This term is not typically used in the description of lymphadenopathy.
B. In cases of acute infection, lymphadenopathy is most often unilateral and localized to the area of infection. For example, if there is a throat infection, the lymph nodes on the same side of the neck are more likely to be enlarged.
C. Lymph nodes that are soft and nontender are more indicative of chronic conditions such as lymphoma or metastasis. In acute infections, lymph nodes tend to be firm and tender.
D. Firm but freely movable nodes may be indicative of chronic conditions or noninfectious causes. Acute infection typically leads to tender, swollen lymph nodes that may feel rubbery or hard but are usually movable.

A. Peripheral vascular disease B. Fluid and electrolyte disturbances C. Heart failure D. Atrial-septal defect

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Peripheral vascular disease involves issues with blood flow to the extremities but does not typically present with jugular vein distension or a gallop heart sound.
B. Fluid and electrolyte disturbances may affect heart rhythm and fluid balance but are less likely to present with these specific findings.
C. Heart failure is the most likely cause, as jugular vein distension and a third heart sound (S3 gallop) are common signs of heart failure, particularly when the heart cannot effectively pump blood.
D. Atrial-septal defect may cause heart murmurs or irregular rhythms but is not typically associated with jugular vein distension or an S3 gallop.
