ANS: B
The patient has rhonchi. Rhonchi are caused by increased secretions in large airways and can be seen in pneumonia or in other conditions, leading to increased mucus production. The nurse prepares to treat the patient for pneumonia. Asthma would manifest with wheezing, coup with stridor, and heart failure with rales or crackles.
