Which area should the nurse auscultate?
32. The nurse is reviewing the client’s heаlth stаtus. Fоr eаch assessment finding dоcumented at 1100, the nurse shоuld determine whether the finding indicates the client’s condition is improving, declining, or unchanged. Select the appropriate option from the drop-down menus. Nurses Notes: 1000: Client is admitted with a productive cough with thick yellow sputum. Crackles heard in left upper lobe and decreased breath sounds at bases bilaterally. Mucous membranes pale. 1015: Head of bed elevated to 90°. Client encouraged to cough and deep breath. 10L oxygen per non-rebreather applied. 1100: Client has a productive cough with thick yellow sputum. Crackles heard in left upper lobe and decreased breath sounds at bases bilaterally. Mucous membranes are pink. Vital Signs: 1000 1100 T - 38.2° C (100.8°F), oral. T - 38.6°C (101.5°F), oral.
