A nurse is performing chest percussion therapy on a client. Which of the following actions should the
nurse take? B. ***The nurse should hear a hollow sound when performing chest percussion therapy. This indicates proper technique is being used to loosen the secretions. A
nurse is caring for a client who has a chest tube. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
