A nurse in an emergency department (ED) is admitting a client. Select 3 findings in the client's medical record that may be indicative of bronchitis.

A. An elevated temperature is often associated with infections and inflammation, including bronchitis. While a temperature of 99°F is slightly above normal and may indicate a mild fever, it is not a primary hallmark of bronchitis but rather a common response to infection or inflammation. B. Fatigue is a general symptom that can accompany many conditions, including bronchitis. It is related to the overall feeling of being unwell and is not specific to bronchitis. While fatigue can be present, it is not a definitive sign of bronchitis on its own. C. This includes findings such as bronchial breath sounds and rhonchi (a type of coarse, rattling sound) noted in the right lower lobe, which are indicative of bronchitis. The presence of rhonchi and bronchial breath sounds suggest inflammation and mucus in the airways, characteristic of bronchitis. D. The use of accessory muscles for breathing is a sign of respiratory distress, which can occur in bronchitis when the airways are inflamed and obstructed. This finding is consistent with bronchitis as it reflects the increased effort required to breathe due to airway inflammation and mucus production. E. The blood pressure reading of 110/54 mm Hg is within normal limits and does not provide specific information about bronchitis. Blood pressure is not typically a primary indicator for diagnosing bronchitis. F. Bowel sounds are related to gastrointestinal function and do not provide information specific to bronchitis. Active bowel sounds are normal and do not help in diagnosing bronchitis.
