Question 5 of 5
After assisting in a left lateral thoracentesis for a client with pleural effusion, the nurse monitors the client post-procedure. Which finding warrants immediate intervention?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Subcutaneous emphysema around the insertion site post-thoracentesis warrants immediate intervention. This indicates air has escaped into the subcutaneous tissue, potentially from a pneumothorax or procedural complication, which can progress to respiratory distress or tension pneumothorax. Pain on inhalation is expected, decreased breath sounds may reflect the effusion's residual effect, and 90% saturation, while low, is less urgent than emphysema's potential for rapid deterioration, requiring prompt reporting and possible chest tube placement.
