In assessing a client's neck, the nurse hears a blowing swish when auscultating the area over the left carotid artery, but hears no sound over the right carotid artery. How should the nurse document this finding?

A. Left carotid artery occlusion present; no occlusion of right carotid artery. A bruit suggests turbulent blood flow, which may indicate partial occlusion or narrowing, not necessarily a complete occlusion. B. Left carotid artery has strong pulse; right carotid artery occluded. This documentation is incorrect as the nurse did not assess pulse volume but rather auscultated for bruits. C. Left carotid pulse volume of 4+; right carotid pulse volume of 0. This statement is incorrect as it documents pulse volumes, which were not assessed by auscultation for bruits. D. Left carotid artery bruit present; no bruit heard in right carotid artery. This is the correct documentation of the auscultation findings.
