Answer to Question 1

B
When breath sounds are auscultated in all lobes, lung expansion is symmetrical, oxygen saturation (SaO2) is stable or improved, and respirations are nonlabored. Chest pain is not an expected outcome. Treatment is effective when the patient reports no chest pain. Drainage from the pleural cavity decreases over time with reexpansion of the lung. Lung expansion would be equal to preinjury status.

Answer to Question 2

D
Sharp, stabbing chest pain with or without decreased blood pressure and increased heart rate may indicate a tension pneumothorax. A chest tube is not an expected treatment for pneumonitis. Tube displacement is an unexpected outcome and can lead to increased pneumothorax. Immediately apply pressure over the chest tube insertion site. Myocardial infarction pain is expressed as crushing or pressure over the sternal area.
