Polycythemia vera, a condition in which too many RBCs are produced in the blood serum, can lead to an increase in the
hematocrit and hypervolemia, hyperviscosity, and hypertension. Subsequently, the client can experience dizziness,
tinnitus, visual disturbances, headaches, or a feeling of fullness in the head. The client may also experience
cardiovascular symptoms such as heart failure (shortness of breath and orthopnea) and increased clotting time or

5. Which of the following would be priority assessment data to gather from a client who has been diagnosed
with pneumonia? Select all that apply.
1. Auscultation of breath sounds
2. Auscultation of bowel sounds
3. Presence of chest pain.
4. Presence of peripheral edema
5. Color of nail beds
Answer: 1, 3, 5.
A respiratory assessment, which includes auscultation of breath sounds and assessing the color of the nail beds, is a
priority for clients with pneumonia. Assessing for the presence of chest pain is also an important respiratory assessment
as chest pain can interfere with the client’s ability to breathe deeply. Auscultating bowel sounds and assessing for
peripheral edema may be appropriate assessments, but these are not priority assessments for the patient with
pneumonia.
