Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Decreased breath sounds on the affected side are associated with airway obstruction caused by atelectasis. The other manifestations listed do not necessarily indicate airway obstruction. Bradycardia and dyspnea can be caused by a variety of factors, tracheal deviation toward the unaffected side can be caused by tension pneumothorax or mediastinal mass, and rales and rhonchi can be present with fluid accumulation in the lungs.
