A client comes into the clinic complaining of facial pain, fever, and malaise. On examination, the nurse notes swollen turbinates and purulent discharge from the nose. The client also complains of dull, throbbing pain in his cheeks and teeth on the right side and pain when the nurse palpates the areas. The nurse recognizes that this client has manifestations of:

A. Frenulum:

The frenulum is a thin band of tissue in the mouth that connects the tongue to the floor of the mouth. It aids in the tongue's movement and flexibility during speaking and swallowing.

B. Palate:

The palate refers to the roof of the mouth. It has two parts: the hard palate (at the front, made of bone) and the soft palate (at the back, made of muscle). The palate plays a crucial role in speech and swallowing.

C. Uvula:

The uvula is a small, fleshy extension at the back of the soft palate in the mouth. It participates in various functions, including speech articulation, preventing food from entering the nasal cavity during swallowing, and producing certain sounds.

D. Papillae:

Papillae are small, raised structures on the tongue that contain taste buds. They are responsible for detecting different tastes: sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami (savory). Papillae give the tongue its rough texture.

A. Wheezing: Wheezing is a continuous, high-pitched whistling sound usually heard during expiration. It is often associated with narrowed airways, such as in asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Wheezing occurs due to the turbulent airflow through narrowed bronchi or bronchioles and is not typically associated with pleuritis.

B. Friction rub: Pleuritis, or inflammation of the pleura, can cause a friction rub. This sound occurs when the inflamed pleural layers rub against each other during breathing. It's a grating or rubbing sound heard on auscultation and is a hallmark sign of pleuritis.

C. Stridor: Stridor is a high-pitched, harsh sound heard during inspiration and sometimes expiration. It is often a sign of upper airway obstruction, such as in croup or anaphylaxis. Stridor results from turbulent airflow through a partially obstructed or narrowed larynx or trachea.

D. Crackles: Crackles, also known as rales, are brief, discontinuous, popping sounds heard on inspiration. They can be fine or coarse and are often associated with conditions that cause fluid or secretions in the alveoli or small airways, such as pneumonia or heart failure. Crackles are not typically associated with pleuritis.
