Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The typical patient with pleurodynia has shallow respirations; deeper breaths are limited by pain. The subsequent atelectasis can cause oxygenation difficulty caused by shunting.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Considering that the patient is stable, a chest x-ray would be the most indicated procedure to determine the cause of the clinical changes in Ms. Paul.
