Question 1 of 5
A nurse on a medical-surgical unit is performing an admission assessment of a client who has COPD with emphysema. The client reports that he has a frequent productive cough and is short of breath. The nurse should anticipate which of the following assessment findings for this client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Increased anteroposterior diameter (barrel chest) results from chronic air trapping in emphysema. Normal oxygen saturation is unlikely, respiratory acidosis is more common due to hypoventilation, and petechiae are not typical unless severe coughing or coagulation issues are present.
