On the first day after a right pneumonectomy, a client suddenly sits straight up in bed. The client's respirations are labored, and a crowing sound is audible. The client's skin is pale, cool, and moist. Which action is priority?

The question is incomplete as it lacks multiple options. The options are as follows:

Notify the primary healthcare provider

Check the chest tube for patency

Inspect the incision for bleeding

Auscultate the left lung

Auscultate the left lung

Explanation:

Pneumonectomy may be defined as the surgical procedure of the removal of lung or its part. The pneumonectomy is mainly performed in case of the lung tumors.

The auscultation is the procedure of listening different sounds of the hear and lungs. The auscultation is important as after the surgery the airway obstruction might occur and may also cause the trachea deviation. The proper lung sound do not require any medical procedure but abnormal sound require emergency medical procedure.

Thus, the correct answer is option (4).

cells use diffusion to get substances in and out of themselves. that diffusion will occur across the cell membrane or the outer covering of the cell. because we are talking about the surface of the cell, surface area and volume are  important factors here. as a cell increases in size, its surface area and volume increase as well.  we call that the surface area to volume ratio (sa: vol).  but the catch is that  volume increases at a greater rate than surface  area. in other words, as a cell gets bigger, the sa: vol gets smaller. so a really small cell like bacteria is mostly cell membrane (surface) with very little contents (volume). a really big cell like an egg, is mostly insides with a super thin membrane. so what ends up happening is that the cell cannot efficiently diffuse all of the stuff it needs in/out to survive. therefore cell size is limited to about 100mm. so how do we make organisms bigger than 100mm? cells divide! by dividing and becoming multicellular, organisms are able to grow!   check out the diagrams i attached to see the effect of sa: vol. i hope this ! good luck!
