A nurse is assessing a client who has pneumonia. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

Rationale: A. Tachypnea (increased respiratory rate) is a common manifestation of pneumonia due to impaired gas exchange and hypoxia. B. Hypothermia is not typical; pneumonia usually causes fever or low-grade hyperthermia. C. Pulse deficit is related to arrhythmias and is not a characteristic finding of pneumonia. D. Bradycardia is not typical; clients with pneumonia may experience tachycardia as a compensatory response to hypoxia and fever.
