Question 1 of 5
A nurse is auscultating a client's lung sounds and identifies crackles in the left lower lobe. Which intervention should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Repeat auscultation after asking the client to take a deep breath and cough. This intervention helps to confirm the presence of crackles and assess for any changes in lung sounds. It is important to verify the findings before proceeding with further interventions such as administering antibiotics or changing fluid intake. Instructing the client to cough can help clear any secretions that may be causing the crackles. Placing the client on bed rest or limiting fluid intake are not the first priority interventions for crackles in the lung. Administering antibiotics should be based on a confirmed diagnosis and would not be the initial step.
