A nurse is caring for a client who has pneumonia. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Tachypnea. When caring for a client with pneumonia, the nurse should expect tachypnea, which is rapid breathing. This occurs due to decreased oxygenation and lung function. Bradycardia (A) is not typically associated with pneumonia; instead, tachycardia may be present.
