,A patient was admitted following a motor vehicle accident with multiple fractured ribs.
Respiratory assessment includes signs/symptoms of secondary pneumothorax. Which
are the most common assessment findings associated with a pneumothorax? (Select
all that apply).
a. Sharp pleuritic pain that worsens on inspiration
b. Crackles over lung bases of affected lung
c. Tracheal deviation toward the affected lung
d. Worsening dyspnea
e. Absent lung sounds to auscultation on affected side

e. Absent lung sounds to auscultation on affected side
(When the lung collapses, as with a pneumothorax, the thoracic space fills
with air, which irritates the parietal pleura causing inspiratory pain. Because
of the collapsed lung there is reduced gas exchange in the affected area,
reduced oxygenation and dyspnea result. When an area of the lung
collapses, breath sounds over affected area are absent.)

, respiratory rate and depth are irregular, characterized by alternating
periods of apnea and hyperventilation. Respiratory cycle begins with slow,
shallow breahts that gradually increase to abnormal rate and depth. The
patter reveres, breathing slows and becomes shallo,concluding apena
before respirations resumes
