A nurse is reinforcing teaching to a female client who has risk factors for stroke. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?

a. Pleural friction rub: Pleural friction rub is a grating sound heard during inspiration and

expiration and is associated with inflammation of the pleura. It is not typically associated with asthma exacerbation.

b. Fine rales: Fine rales (crackles) are usually heard during inspiration and can be associated with conditions such as pneumonia or pulmonary fibrosis. They are not the typical lung sounds in

asthma exacerbation.

c. Rhonchi: Rhonchi are low-pitched wheezes heard during inspiration and expiration. While they can be associated with asthma, expiratory wheezes are more specific to asthma

exacerbation.

d. Expiratory wheeze: Expiratory wheezes are high-pitched, musical sounds heard during

expiration and are characteristic of asthma exacerbation. They result from narrowed airways and increased airway resistance.

a. Turn the client so the cast will dry on all sides: While ensuring the cast is dry is important, the first priority following a surgical procedure is to assess neurovascular status to detect any

complications.

b. Remove the window and view the incision: Removing the window may compromise the cast's integrity, and the priority is to assess neurovascular status before inspecting the incision.

c. Medicate the client for pain: Pain management is important, but assessing neurovascular status is the initial priority to ensure there are no complications affecting circulation.

d. Perform neurovascular checks of the affected extremity: Neurovascular checks are the priority to detect any signs of impaired circulation or nerve function.
