Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Swollen feet and ankles are a common sign of right-sided heart failure. This occurs because the right side of the heart cannot effectively pump blood to the lungs for oxygenation, causing fluid to build up in the body, including in the legs and feet. The other options listed are not specific to right-sided heart failure.
