A client diagnosed with heart failure presents with a temperature of 99.1°F, pulse 100 beats/minute, respirations 42 breaths/minute, BP 110/50 mm Hg; crackles in both lung bases; nausea; and pulse oximeter reading of 89%. Which finding indicates a need for immediate attention? (a) - Lung congestion (b) - Heart Failure (c) - Brain hemorrhage (d) - None of these
