Question 1 of 5

The nurse is auscultating a client's chest for breath sounds. In which situation should the nurse expect to auscultate increased breath sounds?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale:
Correct
Answer: D (When the bronchial tree is obstructed by secretions)


Rationale:
1. When the bronchial tree is obstructed by secretions, it can lead to increased breath sounds due to turbulent airflow.
2. The obstruction causes air to flow through narrower passages, creating louder breath sounds.
3. These increased breath sounds are typically described as coarse crackles or wheezing.
4. This situation indicates a potential respiratory issue that requires further assessment and intervention.

Summary of Incorrect

Choices:
A: When bronchial breath sounds are auscultated in the trachea - This is incorrect because bronchial breath sounds are normally heard over the trachea and are not indicative of increased breath sounds.
B: When the client is experiencing excessive sneezing from a tree pollen allergy - Sneezing does not typically lead to increased breath sounds on auscultation.
C: When the client is resting in bed and not experiencing respiratory issues - Resting in bed
