Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has developed atelectasis postoperatively. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Increasing dyspnea. Atelectasis is the collapse of alveoli in the lungs, leading to impaired gas exchange and decreased oxygenation. As atelectasis progresses, the client may experience increasing dyspnea due to inadequate oxygenation. This is a common symptom associated with atelectasis. Friction rub (
A) is more commonly associated with pleurisy or pleural effusion. Decreasing respiratory rate (
B) is not typically seen in atelectasis as the body compensates by increasing the respiratory rate. Facial flushing (
D) is not a typical finding in atelectasis and is more commonly associated with conditions like allergic reactions or fever.
