ATI RN Fundamentals Exam 2 Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

The nurse is assessing the symmetry of the client's chest. The nurse recognizes that a client's symmetric expansion of the chest is best confirmed by:

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because placing hands sideways on the posterolateral chest wall with thumbs pointing together at the level of T9 or T10 allows the nurse to assess for symmetrical expansion during inhalation. This technique ensures that the nurse can feel and compare the movement of the chest wall bilaterally. By placing the hands at a specific level, the nurse can accurately detect any asymmetry in chest expansion, which may indicate underlying respiratory issues.

A: Percussion of the posterior chest is used to assess for lung density and air-filled structures, not chest expansion symmetry.
B: Inspection of the shape and configuration of the chest wall may provide information about chest abnormalities but does not directly confirm symmetric chest expansion.
C: Placing the palmar surface of the fingers against the chest and having the client repeat 'ninety nine' helps assess for tactile fremitus, not chest expansion symmetry.
