Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has a possible right pneumothorax. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Reduced right-sided breath sounds. In a right pneumothorax, air accumulates in the pleural space, causing lung collapse and decreased air entry, leading to reduced breath sounds on the affected side. Paradoxical chest movement (
A) is seen in flail chest, not pneumothorax. High-pitched stridor (
C) is associated with upper airway obstruction. Intercostal retractions (
D) occur with increased work of breathing, not specific to pneumothorax.
