The patient consistently presents a pleasant affect and jokes lightly about my poor heart. Which is the cardiac/vascular nurse's most appropriate response? I wonder if you are worried about your heart. It is nice to see you in good spirits. You were really sick. I'm glad you can talk about it now. You would not be discharged if you weren't doing fine. 2. Examination of a patient in a supine position reveals jugular veins from the base of the neck to the angle of the jaw. This finding indicates: decreased venous return. increased central venous pressure. increased pulmonary artery capillary pressure. left-sided heart failure
