    Answer: The client may have ruptured ventricular septa because of MI which may cause cardiogenic pulmonary edema.

    Explanation:

    When the heart is not able to beat properly and propel the blood forward into the body through aorta, blood can regurgitate into the lungs through pulmonary veins. Due to inceeased backup pressure in the veins, fluid may leak out of the vessels and therefore can be accumulated in the air spaces causing edema. This cardiogenic pulmonary edema causes dyspnea.
