A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who has multiple injuries following a motor vehicle crash. The nurse should monitor for which of the following manifestations of a pneumothorax?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A pneumothorax causes lung collapse, leading to an absence of breath sounds over the affected area due to air in the pleural space preventing lung expansion. Stridor, wheezes, and crackles are associated with upper airway obstruction, bronchoconstriction, or fluid/mucus, respectively.
