Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is doing an assessment of an adult client and noticed unequal chest expansion. The nurse recognizes that unequal chest expansion occurs:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: When part of the lung is obstructed or collapsed. Unequal chest expansion can result from conditions such as pneumothorax, pleural effusion, or atelectasis, where part of the lung is obstructed or collapsed. This leads to decreased ventilation in that area and subsequently unequal chest expansion.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because bulging of intercostal spaces, obesity, and use of accessory muscles do not directly cause unequal chest expansion due to lung obstruction or collapse.
