A nurse is reviewing the history and physical of a client who has right ventricular heart failure. Which of the following is an expected finding?

A.

A. Edema is a common early sign of compartment syndrome as increased pressure within the compartment impairs venous outflow, leading to swelling.

B. Shortness of breath is not typically associated with compartment syndrome but may indicate other respiratory or cardiac issues.

C. Petechiae are not typically associated with compartment syndrome but may occur in conditions such as thrombocytopenia or coagulopathy.

D. Change in mental status is not typically associated with compartment syndrome but may indicate other neurological issues.

Choice A Rationale: The recommended hepatitis vaccine series does not consist of four vaccines. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends a 3-dose series for most individuals, which includes doses at birth, 1-2 months, and 6-18 months.

Choice B Rationale: Hepatitis B is not typically transmitted by contaminated food. It is primarily spread through exposure to infectious blood, semen, and other body fluids. Transmission can occur through direct contact with blood or body fluids of an infected person, unprotected sex, sharing needles, or from mother to child at birth.

Choice C Rationale: While chronic hepatitis C has been associated with an increased risk of developing renal cell carcinoma, the evidence linking chronic hepatitis B with renal cell cancer is less clear. Some studies suggest a potential association, but it is not established as a common complication.

Choice D Rationale: Individuals with a history of hepatitis B or C are generally ineligible to donate blood. This is due to the risk of bloodborne transmission of these viruses. Even if the individual has recovered or been cured of hepatitis C, they are still barred from donating blood or plasma.
