    In atelectasis, fewer aerating alveoli are present and therefore have a lower pressure. Therefore, the trachea is slightly pushed by the healthy lung to the affected side, which contains less air and lesser pressure. Breath sounds are absent in the right lung because alveoli are not ventilated because air does not reach them. Breath sounds are present in the left lung because the alveoli are still ventilated as the bronchus is unobstructed. Dull percussion is elicited because the alveoli are collapsed and air is not present in the affected lung. (p. 473, Health Assessment and Physical Examination by Estes 3rd edition, 2006)…

    Kirkness explains that priority should be given to airway management and oxygenation. Generally, all patients should be placed on oxygen. The head of the bed should be slightly elevated, and a cardiac monitor and intravenous access established. Unless there is hypotension, fluids should be administered judiciously to prevent cerebral edema. 2 Primary assessments are focused on cardiac and respiratory status and neurological assessment. The nursing history is obtained as follows: 1) description of the current illness with attention to initial symptoms, including onset and duration, nature (intermittent or continuous) and changes. 2) History of similar symptoms previously experienced. 3) Current medications. 4) History of risk factors and other illnesses such as hypertension and 5) family history of stroke or cardiovascular disease (2000 p.1526).…
