Question 1 of 5
A nurse is auscultating the lungs of a client who has pleurisy. Which of the following adventitious breath sounds should the nurse expect to hear?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Loud, grating sounds. In pleurisy, the inflamed pleural surfaces rub against each other, creating a loud, grating sound known as pleural friction rub. This sound is heard during both inspiration and expiration and is typically localized to the area of inflammation. Popping sounds (
A) are associated with atelectasis or airway collapse. Snoring sounds (
C) are caused by upper airway obstruction, not pleurisy. Squeaky, musical sounds (
D) are characteristic of wheezing, typically seen in conditions like asthma or COPD.
