Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client who is 2 days postoperative and is auscultating their bilateral breath sounds. The nurse notes absent breath sounds in the bases. The nurse should suspect which postoperative complication is occurring in this client?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Atelectasis. Atelectasis is the collapse or closure of a lung resulting in decreased or absent breath sounds. In this scenario, absent breath sounds in the lung bases suggest a possible complication of atelectasis due to postoperative immobility and inadequate chest expansion. A pulmonary embolism (
B) typically presents with sudden onset dyspnea and chest pain, but not necessarily absent breath sounds. Arterial thrombus (
C) would manifest with symptoms related to decreased blood flow in the affected artery, not absent breath sounds. Pneumonia (
