HESI Health Assessment WGU d344 Proctored Exam
The nurse completes palpation of the thoracic region on an adult client. Which finding is considered normal for this client?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Crepitus is an abnormal finding that indicates the presence of air in the subcutaneous tissues or other issues like joint or lung abnormalities. It is not a normal finding upon palpation. B. Non-tenderness is a normal finding and indicates that the thoracic region is free from pain or discomfort, which is expected in a healthy client. C. Tenderness upon palpation is not normal and may suggest underlying issues such as inflammation, injury, or infection. D. A thrill, which is a palpable vibration felt over a specific area, is not a normal finding in the thoracic region and may indicate turbulent blood flow or underlying pathology.
