Which risk factor for traumatic brain injury (TBI) should a nurse include in a discussion about prevention for a group of adolescents?

Choice a reason:
Resonance is the expected percussion note when percussing over normal, healthy lung tissue. This sound is produced due to the presence of air in the lung parenchyma, which allows for the transmission of sound waves through the air-filled spaces. In a healthy individual, the resonance indicates that the lungs are free from any significant abnormalities that could alter the sound, such as fluid or solid masses.
Choice b reason:
Tympanic notes are typically heard over hollow, air-containing structures like the stomach. This sound is not expected in lung percussion unless there is a large, air-filled cavity within the lung tissue, which would be abnormal and indicative of a pathological condition such as a pneumothorax.
Choice c reason:
A flat percussion note is usually heard over dense tissues where air is not present, such as over the thigh muscles or areas of the chest where lung tissue has been replaced by something more solid, like in the case of a pleural effusion or a lung mass.
Choice d reason:
Dullness on percussion usually indicates that the lung is not air-filled and may be suggestive of underlying conditions such as pneumonia, tumor, or atelectasis. It is a higher-pitched sound compared to flatness and is typically found in areas of the lung that are filled with fluid or solid tissue rather than air.

Choice A reason:
The primary purpose of health assessment is to collect, analyze, and interpret data to identify the patient’s health status and needs, as well as to develop and implement appropriate nursing interventions to address these needs. It is a systematic process that is fundamental in promoting the health and well-being of patients. This involves a comprehensive evaluation of the patient's physical, psychological, and social health. Gathering this information is crucial for creating a care plan that addresses the individual needs of the client.
Choice B reason:
While health assessments can aid physicians in diagnosing illness, they are not solely for the purpose of diagnosis without further testing. Health assessments may indicate the need for additional tests to confirm a diagnosis. The nurse's role includes supporting the diagnostic process, but it is not the primary purpose of health assessment.
Choice C reason:
Health assessments are not meant to be subjective or based on the nurse's personal views and beliefs. The assessments are conducted to objectively determine the health status of a client, which then informs evidence-based practice and care planning. Personal biases should not influence the management of a client's illness.
Choice D reason:
Making judgments about a client's lifestyle and behaviors is not the primary purpose of health assessment. While lifestyle and behaviors may be assessed as part of understanding the client's overall health status, the goal is not to judge but to understand how these factors may impact the client's health and to provide education and support for healthy changes if needed.
