A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for atenolol. For which of the following adverse effects should the nurse monitor the client?

a. Overusing a muscle while jogging: Overuse injuries are more commonly associated with strains, not sprains. Strains involve the muscles or tendons.

b. Twisting a ligament while walking: This is an example of a mechanism that can lead to a sprain. A sprain involves the stretching or tearing of ligaments, which connect bone to bone.

c. Impact injury on a joint from a fall: This is more likely to result in a sprain, as it can cause damage to ligaments.

d. Crush injury to a bone from blunt trauma: This type of injury is more likely to affect bones rather than ligaments or tendons, and it would not be considered a sprain or strain.

A. Inspiratory stridor - This is associated with upper airway obstruction and is not indicative of a pneumothorax.

B. Expiratory wheeze - Wheezing is commonly associated with lower airway conditions such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), not pneumothorax.

C. Coarse crackles - Coarse crackles are typically heard in conditions such as pneumonia or pulmonary edema, not pneumothorax.

D. Absence of breath sounds - This is a key manifestation of a pneumothorax. The air in the pleural space can prevent the lung from fully expanding, leading to the absence of breath sounds on the affected side.
