IDENTIFY THE CONDITION
For each of the following scenarios, identify what problem most likely describes what the client is experiencing.
16. Throughout the week, a newly admitted resident to a rehabilitation center experiences shortness of breath and has a
dry, hacking cough. These incidents seem to occur every 3 to 4 days.
17. A client who is recovering from bilateral knee replacement receives a bouquet of fragrant, blooming flowers. She
immediately starts sneezing and her eyes begin to run.
18. Your client seems to continually suffer from a chronic cough that produces clear, white, yellow, or green sticky
mucus, wheezing, shortness of breath, and complains of chest tightness.
