When percussing a client's chest the nurse should expect to hear?

When percussing a client's chest, the nurse should expect to hear a variety of sounds that can indicate different underlying conditions. Normal lung tissue typically produces a resonant sound, while dullness may suggest fluid accumulation, such as in pneumonia or pleural effusion. Hyperresonance can indicate conditions like pneumothorax or emphysema. It's important to interpret these sounds in the context of the client's overall clinical picture.
