JARVIS Questions and answers, 2022 version, graded A+ Document Content and Description Below JARVIS Questions and answers, 2022 version, graded A+ Increased tactile fremitus would be evident in an individual who has which of the following conditions? - Pneumonia Fremitus - a palpable vibration. Increased fremitus occurs with - compression or consolidation of lung tissue (e.g., lobar pneumonia). Decreased fremitus occurs when - anything obstructs transmission of vibrations (e.g., obstructed bronchus, pleural effusion or thickening, pneumothorax, or emphysema). Crepitus - a coarse crackling sensation palpable over the skin surface. It occurs in subcutaneous emphysema when air escapes from the lung and enters the subcutaneous tissue. A common clinical manifestation in a patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is: - pursed-lip breathing. By exhaling slowly and against a narrow opening, the pressure in the bronchial tree remains positive, and fewer airways collapse. Periodic breathing patterns are - Cheyne-Stokes or Biot respirations Cheyne-Stokes respirations occur in - heart failure, renal failure, meningitis, drug overdose, and increased intracranial pressure; this type also normally occurs in infants and older adults during sleep Biot respirations occur with - head trauma, brain abscess, heat stroke, spinal meningitis, and encephalitis Unequal chest expansion occurs when - part of the lung is obstructed or collapsed, as with pneumonia, or with guarding to avoid postoperative incisional pain or pleurisy pain Hyperventilation is a normal response to - fever, fear, or exercise; respiration rate also increases with respiratory insufficiency, pneumonia, alkalosis, pleurisy, and lesions in the pons. The thoracic cage comprises - sternum, ribs, vertebrae, diaphragm. Inspiration is primarily facilitated by - Diaphragm and intercostal muscles Intercostal muscles lift the sternum and elevate the ribs, making them more horizontal; this increases the anteroposterior diameter. egophony: The "eeeee" sound is clear and sounds like "eeeee." - normal bronchophony - normal voice transmission is soft, muffled, and indistinct. whispered pectoriloquy - normal, whispered sound is faint, muffled, and almost inaudible. The gradual loss of intra-alveolar septa and a decreased number of alveoli in the lungs of elderly adults cause: - decreased surface area for gas exchange The function of the trachea and bronchi is to: - transport gases between the environment and the lung parenchyma Stridor is a high-pitched, inspiratory crowing sound commonly associated with: - upper airway obstruction. from swollen, inflamed tissues or a lodged foreign body. Percussion of the chest is: - helpful only in identifying surface alterations of lung tissue. An abnormal finding must be 2 to 3 cm wide to yield an abnormal percussion note. Percussion detects only the outer 5 to 7 cm of tissue Percussion findings (resonant notes) may be modified by - muscular chest wall of an athlete or subcutaneous tissue of an obese person. Resonance - a low-pitched, clear, hollow sound that predominates with percussion of healthy lung tissue. lobes of the lungs and their anatomic position? - The posterior chest is almost all lower lobe. The anterior chest contains mostly upper and middle lobe with very little lower lobe. An increase in the transverse diameter of the chest cage in a pregnant woman is due to a(n): - increase in estrogen relaxes the chest cage ligaments. This allows an increase in the transverse diameter of the chest cage by 2 cm, and the costal angle widens central axillary lymph nodes - Lying in the center of the axilla in the axillary fat, these nodes receive lymph from the lateral axillary, subscapular, and pectoral lymph nodes. subscapular lymph nodes - along the lateral edge of the scapula, deep in the posterior axillary fold; these nodes receive superficial lymph vessels from the back, down as far as the level of the iliac crests. lateral axillary lymph nodes - Lying along the medial side of the axillary vein, these nodes receive most of the lymph vessels of the upper limb pectoral lymph nodes - along the lateral edge of the pectoralis major muscle, just inside the anterior axillary fold milk lines - develop embryologic development.

The nurse should develop a plan of care based on which priority risk nursing diagnosis? - Impaired gas exchange The client is admitted to the hospital. During the assessment the nurse notes dyspnea, decreased fremitus, dullness over the right lung, and decreased breath sounds on the right with a pleural friction rub.

When participating in interdisciplinary care rounds the nurse should report that the client is experiencing which of the following? - Biot's breathing The nurse is caring for a client who is coughing up greenish-yellow mucus.
