A senior patient is being admitted due to lobar pneumonia to the med-surgical floor. When auscultating, the nurse would expect to listen to which of the following adventitious breath sounds?

A. Wheezes: Wheezes are high-pitched sounds usually associated with airway constriction, such as in asthma, not specifically lobar pneumonia. B. Rhonchi: Rhonchi are low-pitched, snoring sounds associated with secretions in the airways and may be present in pneumonia but are not the most characteristic finding. C. Coarse crackles (rales): Coarse crackles or rales are bubbling, crackling sounds heard when air moves through fluid in the airways, which is typical in pneumonia due to the presence of alveolar fluid. D. No sound: Absence of sound is not expected in pneumonia; adventitious sounds like crackles are usually present.
