On the first day after a right pneumonectomy, a client suddenly sits straight up in bed. The client's respirations are labored, and a crowing sound is audible. The client's skin is pale, cool, and moist. Which action is priority?

The question is incomplete as it lacks multiple options. The options are as follows:

Notify the primary healthcare provider

Check the chest tube for patency

Inspect the incision for bleeding

Auscultate the left lung

Auscultate the left lung

Explanation:

Pneumonectomy may be defined as the surgical procedure of the removal of lung or its part. The pneumonectomy is mainly performed in case of the lung tumors.

The auscultation is the procedure of listening different sounds of the hear and lungs. The auscultation is important as after the surgery the airway obstruction might occur and may also cause the trachea deviation. The proper lung sound do not require any medical procedure but abnormal sound require emergency medical procedure.

Thus, the correct answer is option (4).

metamorphism is the change of minerals or geologic texture (distinct arrangement of minerals) in pre-existing rocks (protoliths), without the protolith melting into liquid magma (a solid-state change). the change occurs primarily due to heat, pressure, and the introduction of chemically active fluids. i hoped i !
