Multiple Choice Questions About Respiratory System Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse assesses a client after a thoracentesis. Which assessment finding warrants immediate action?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because the trachea shifted towards the opposite side indicates a potential pneumothorax, a serious complication following thoracentesis. Immediate action is needed to prevent respiratory distress. Choices A and B are common post-procedural findings and may not require immediate action. Choice C, while indicating hypoxemia, does not pose an immediate threat compared to a tracheal deviation.
