Q

Pleural effusion can reduce or increase lung expansion?

A

Pleural effusion can cause reduced lung expansion.

Q

Step 4: If the noxious stimulus is found, wait several minutes to see if the patient is feeling better. Check blood pressure every 5 minutes.

Step 5: If you cannot find the stimulus and the patient is not feeling better. immediately connect with nursing staff if in the hospital or call 911 if the patient is at
home.
