• Differentiate between systolic and diastolic heart failure. • State whether the patient is in systolic or diastolic heart failure. • Explain the pathophysiology associated with each of the following symptoms: dyspnea on exertion, pitting edema, jugular vein distention, and orthopnea. • Explain the significance of the presence of a 3rd heart sound and ejection fraction of 25%.

This week, we are covering Alterations in Renal and Urinary Function. As you reflect on the concepts of fluid and electrolytes and acid/base balance covered in the last two weeks, tell us one alteration that could occur in fluid and electrolyte and acid/base balance due to arenal or urinary disorder.

She develops these coughing fits that are prolonged, very deep, and productive of a lot of green sputum. She hasn’t had any fever but does have...
