A patient who was severely injured in a motor vehicle crash 7 days ago has developed ARDS. The nurse has explained the concept of nonhydrostatic pulmonary edema to the patient's family. Which statement by a family member would indicate understanding of this concept?
1. "Her disease has injured the membranes in her lung so that fluid is leaking into her lungs from the tiny blood vessels."
2. "The high blood pressure in the left side of her heart is forcing fluid from her blood vessels into her lung tissues."
3. "Infection in her lungs has harmed the small blood vessels there, causing blood to spill into the lung tissue."
4. "The small air sacs have been destroyed, which has allowed air to enter into the blood vessels."
