Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A manual breathing bag (also known as an Ambu bag) is essential for a patient with a puncture wound of the chest because it can be used to assist ventilation if the patient experiences difficulty breathing or if their lung collapses due to the injury. The other options are not directly related to the immediate respiratory support needed for a chest puncture wound.
