Question

the nurse has assisted the health care provider at the bedside with insertion of a left subclavian, triple lumen catheter in a client admitted with lung cancer. suddenly, the client becomes restless and tachypneic. what should the nurse do next?

Answer 1

the nurse should Assess breath sounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

when I say Assess breath I mean the breath sounds should be assessed during both quiet and deep breathing. A full breath should be auscultated in each location. The examiner should listen for the pitch, intensity, duration, and distribution of breath sounds, as well as note any abnormal or adventitious sounds.
