air in the pleural space - ✔✔When percussing the chest of a patient who experienced blunt chest

assist his ventilations with a bag-mask device. - ✔✔A 37-year-old male sustained blunt trauma to the
left anterolateral chest. He is conscious, but confused, and complains of pain during inspiration; his
respirations are shallow. Your assessment reveals crepitus to the area of impact. Breath sounds,

should:
assist his ventilations with a bag-mask device. - ✔✔A 37-year-old male sustained blunt trauma to the

cover the wound with an occlusive dressing and continue your assessment. - ✔✔A 31-year-old man
was stabbed in the chest during an altercation at a bar. He is semiconscious and has shallow
breathing. As your partner assists the patient's ventilations, you perform a rapid assessment and find
a single stab wound to the left anterior chest with minimal bleeding. Breath sounds on the side of the
