D) Blood-tinged sputum
E) Wheezing throughout the lung fields
Ans: B, D, E
Feedback:
Bronchiectasis is usually manifested by a chronic productive cough, often with several 100 mL of foul-smelling, purulent sputum a day. Hemoptysis is common. Dyspnea and wheezing occur in about 75% of clients. Crushing substernal chest pain and next vein distention are more suggestive of pulmonary emboli or myocardial infarction with right-sided heart failure.
