Which clinical manifestation should be expected in a client with left-sided heart failure?

In a client with left-sided heart failure, one of the expected clinical manifestations is orthopnea. This condition arises when fluid builds up in the lungs due to the heart's inability to effectively pump blood, leading to pulmonary congestion. As a result, when a person lies down, gravity causes the fluid to redistribute in the thoracic region, impairing respiratory function and causing difficulty in breathing. Many patients with left-sided heart failure find relief when sitting or standing, as these positions help reduce the pressure in the pulmonary circulation and alleviate symptoms.

The other clinical manifestations, while they may occur in different types of heart failure, are not directly associated with left-sided heart failure specifically.
