  • resonance on percussion of lung fields
  • fine crackles to the bases of the lungs bilaterally
  • vesicular breath sounds audible over peripheral lung fields
  • respiratory rate of 18 breaths per minute
  • fine crackles to the bases of the lungs bilaterally
  • A client who with no prior history of respiratory illness has been admitted to a postoperative unit following foot surgery. What intervention should the nurse prioritize in an effort to prevent postoperative pneumonia and atelactasis during this time of reduced mobility following surgery?
