A client with suspected lung cancer is scheduled for thoracentesis as part of the diagnostic workup. The nurse reviews the client's history for conditions that might contraindicate this procedure. Which condition is a contraindication for thoracentesis?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A bleeding disorder is a contraindication for thoracentesis because the procedure involves inserting a needle through the chest wall into the pleural space to drain fluid.
