Extract:
A nurse is assessing a client who has a possible right pneumothorax.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Reduced right-sided breath sounds. This finding suggests a potential pneumothorax on the right side, where air leaks into the pleural space causing lung collapse and decreased breath sounds. Intercostal retractions (
B) indicate increased work of breathing, likely due to respiratory distress but not specific to a pneumothorax. High-pitched stridor (
C) is a sign of upper airway obstruction, not typically seen with pneumothorax. Paradoxical chest movement (
D) is seen in flail chest, not characteristic of pneumothorax.
