jugular veins are flat while the patient is supine. There is isolated crepitus over the 4th and 5th ribs in the
midaxillary line on the patient's right side. Based on the mechanism of injury and the assessment
findings, which of the following is the most likely cause of the patient's signs and symptoms?
