Clients with SVT can have varied clinical manifestations depending on the duration of SVT and ventricular response rate. Clients with a non-sustained, slower ventricular response may be asymptomatic except for occasional palpitations. In contrast, with sustained, rapid ventricular response, clients often present with palpitations, chest pain, anxiety, weakness, shortness of breath, and syncope or hypotension. Objective findings refer to those that the nurse can observe and measure, such as vital signs, whereas subjective findings refer to those that the client reports, such as nausea or pain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmose-it.s3.amazonaws.com\/Pz7WJHo8S5mnWdw3HQCCu5IGTZaQwF4h\/_.png\" alt=\"Clinical Manifestations \/ Depending on duration of SVT and rate of ventricular response \/ nonsustained, slower ventricular response \/ May be asymptomatic except for occasional palpitations \/\/ Sustained, rapid ventricular response \/ Clients often present with \/ Palpitations \/ Chest pain \/ Anxiety \/ Weakness  \/ Shortness of breath \/ syncope or hypotension\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rationale:<\/strong>&nbsp;Anxiety is a subjective clinical finding associated with SVT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Incorrect_Answer_Explanations\"><\/span>Incorrect Answer Explanations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A.
