Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a chest tube in place to a closed chest drainage system. Which of the following findings should indicate to the nurse that the client’s lung has re-expanded?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: No fluctuations in the water seal chamber. This indicates that the client's lung has re-expanded because there is no longer any air leaking from the pleural space into the chest tube drainage system. Fluctuations in the water seal chamber typically indicate that there is still air escaping from the lung, suggesting ongoing lung collapse or a leak in the system.
Choices A, B, and D do not directly indicate lung re-expansion and are more related to oxygenation, drainage system integrity, or pain management.
