When lung tissue retains an excessive amount of fluid, this is called: ?

This is called pulmonary edema. The accumulation of fluid in the tissue and air spaces of the lungs can can occur either because of a failure of the left heart ventricle to completely remove blood from pulmonary circulation or because of an injury to the lung tissue. Pulmonary edema leads to impaired gas exchange and can result in respiratory failure.

If these are the missing choices: a. to determine skin temperature, place the back of your hand against the patient's skin.b. determine body temperature by touching the patient's hands and feet.c. skin temperature will tell you very little about this patient's condition or well-being.d. the patient's skin temperature and color will likely be warm and red.my answer is: a. to determine skin temperature, place the back of your hand against the patient's skin. using the back of the hand to check for temperature rather than the palm is more effective because the back of the hand has more nerves that can feel and transmit the temperature than the palm.
