, BSN 246 HESI HEALTH ASSESSMENT EXAM V1
Nightingale College – Complete 100 Question & Answer Bank
Answers & Expert Rationales Included
Question 1: The nurse is performing a thoracic assessment on a client with
chronic asthma and hyperinflation of the lungs. Which finding should be
expected?
 A) Clubbed fingers
 B) Barrel chest
 C) Pectus excavatum
 D) Unequal chest expansion
Correct Answer: B) Barrel chest
Expert Rationale: Chronic asthma with hyperinflation leads to increased residual
lung volume, causing the rib cage to remain partially expanded. This results in a
barrel chest configuration (increased anteroposterior diameter).

Question 2: A client has been diagnosed with bilateral lower lobe atelectasis.
What percussion sound should the nurse expect to hear when percussing over the
client's lower lobes?
 A) Hyperresonance
 B) Tympany
 C) Dull, thud-like
 D) Flatness
Correct Answer: C) Dull, thud-like
Expert Rationale: Atelectasis involves collapsed, airless lung tissue, which
becomes dense. Percussion over dense tissue produces a dull sound.
