Question 1 of 5

A client diagnosed with pleuritis has been admitted to the hospital and complains of pain with breathing. Which of the following assessment findings should the nurse expect when auscultating a client with pleuritis?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Friction rub. Pleuritis is inflammation of the pleura, the lining around the lungs. When auscultating a client with pleuritis, the nurse would expect to hear a friction rub, which is a grating, rubbing sound caused by the inflamed pleural surfaces rubbing together during breathing. This sound is typically heard during both inspiration and expiration. Wheezing (choice
A) is commonly associated with asthma or bronchospasm, not pleuritis. Stridor (choice
C) is a high-pitched, crowing sound usually heard with upper airway obstruction. Crackles (choice
D) are typically associated with conditions such as pneumonia or heart failure, not pleuritis.
Therefore, the presence of a friction rub is the most indicative finding in a client with pleuritis.
