Answer 1.
PE or pulmonary embolism results from a blockage in the blood vessels by the blood
clot. This is a condition that is often progressed from the deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
condition. Deep vein thrombosis is a disease condition that involves an event of blood
clotting in the deep veins. The blood clot then travels towards the lungs and creates a
blockage in a blood vessel. As a result, the normal blood flow becomes impaired, and the
heart faces difficulty with pumping the blood to the body, which leads to a shock (Turetz et

from her painful response to the nurse’s assessments. All of these signs and symptoms are
associated with cardiogenic shock in an individual (Kosaraju & Hai, 2019).
Answer 3.
The crackling sound that can be heard in the bilateral upper chest of the patient is

indicating a possibility of kidney failure in her (Harjola et al., 2017). The doctor might ask to
