Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) via mechanical ventilation. The nurse should monitor the client for which of the following adverse effects of PEEP?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Tension pneumothorax. When a client is receiving PEEP via mechanical ventilation, there is a risk of developing a tension pneumothorax, which is a serious condition where air accumulates in the pleural space under pressure, leading to lung collapse and compromised circulation. Monitoring for tension pneumothorax is crucial because it can be life-threatening if not promptly treated.

Hypoxemia (choice
A) is a common complication in clients on mechanical ventilation but is not specifically associated with PEEP. Malignant hypertension (choice
C) is not a typical adverse effect of PEEP. Atelectasis (choice
D) is a condition where part or all of the lung collapses, which can be a concern in ventilated clients but is not directly related to PEEP.
