Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Blockage of the ET tube by the client's tongue would not typically result in asymmetric chest wall expansion.
B. If the ET tube has moved into the right main bronchus, it will cause more air to enter the right lung and less to the left, leading to decreased left-sided chest wall expansion.
C. Infection of the vocal cords is not related to the absence of chest wall expansion.
D. Passage of the ET tube into the esophagus would lead to the absence of breath sounds in both lungs, not just the left side.
