Rationale: Braxton-Hicks contractions, often called false labor, do not affect the cervix, and pose no harm to the client. They are often relieved by walking, while normal labor will advance with activity. There is no need for the client to do anything with Braxton-Hicks contractions.

Rationale: When the lung deflates due to a pneumothorax, the nurse will hear no breath sounds over the involved site. If air leaks from the lungs into the subcutaneous space, a crackling sensation will be feltcalled subcutaneous emphysemausually in the upper chest on the involved side. Heart rate can increase or decrease, respiratory rate increases, and the client reports suddenly feeling short of breath. A large pneumothorax can cause the trachea to shift to the side of the collapse, as chest organs suddenly have room to shift toward the empty space left by the pneumothorax. Breath sounds are not diminished, they are absent, as air is no longer entering the lobe or lobes of the lungs that are no longer functioning.
