Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A	possible fluid retention, edema
B	possible cough
C	increase sodium
D	decrease sodium

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -In left-sided heart failure, the left side of the heart is weakened and results in reduced ability for the heart to pump blood into the body. In right-sided heart failure, the right side of the heart is weakened and results in fluid in your veins, causing swelling in the legs, ankles, and liver.

Detailed explanation-2: -When the left side of the heart is failing, it can’t handle the blood it’s getting from the lungs. Pressure then builds up in the veins of the lungs, causing fluid to leak into the lung tissues. This may be referred to as congestive heart failure. This causes you to feel short of breath, weak, or dizzy.
