Eventually, it occupies enough space to shift mediastinal tissue toward the unaffected side away from the midline. Tracheal deviation, movement of point of maximum impulse, and decreased cardiac output will occur. The other three options will occur in both types of pneumothorax.

George Commented on September 26, 2025 I cleared the NCLEX-RN with help from Free-Braindumps.com exam questions. Their free questions felt close to the real exam and gave me solid view. Reviewing rationales daily improved my understanding. Stay consistent, focus on concepts, and you’ll build the confidence to pass. The exam is really hard. So don't take it easy. Portugal
