Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
The bronchoscopy allows for the visualization of the airways. Nursing interventions for a bronchoscopy include ensuring informed consent, teaching before the procedure, and maintaining n.p.o. status until the gag reflex returns after the procedure.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B, C, D, E
Feedback:
Fremitus refers to the vibration of air movement through the chest wall. It is best felt by placing the balls of the palms of your hand on the client'sback as the client says 99. The intrascapular space is a good area to feel tactile fremitus because it diminishes as you move out in the lung fields.Decreased fremitus may occur with pleural effusion, pulmonary edema, emphysema, or bronchial obstruction. Left-sided heart failure will result in pulmonary edema, causing decreased fremitus.
