A client reports ├óÔé¼┼ôdifficulty breathing and coughing up blood.├óÔé¼┬Ø During the assessment, which of the following findings would require urgent intervention?
Correct answer
D
Rationale
Steatorrhea is unrelated to acute respiratory issues. Barrel chest is a chronic finding, not urgent. Oxygen saturation of 95% is adequate. Hemoptysis of 300 mL is critical, indicating severe hemorrhage requiring immediate intervention to prevent airway compromise or shock.
