A nurse is caring for a client who is 3 hr postoperative. Which of the following findings should the nurse understand is a manifestation of bleeding?
Hypertension

Crackles in lungs
Tachycardia
The Correct Answer is D
D. Increased heart rate (tachycardia) is a common manifestation of bleeding. The body compensates for blood loss by increasing the heart rate to maintain blood flow to vital organs
A. Typically, bleeding would cause a decrease in blood pressure rather than hypertension. High blood pressure could indicate other issues like pain or anxiety
B. Edema is not typically a direct manifestation of bleeding. It could indicate fluid overload, a common complication post-surgery, but not necessarily indicative of bleeding.
C. Crackles in lungs could suggest fluid overload or pulmonary edema but not related to bleeding.
