2. Pneumothorax

Rationale:
This client was foreign born, a risk factor for TB, and has the classic symptoms of tuberculosis. The nurse plans frequent respiratory assessments as this child is at risk for pneumothorax. Clients with TB are not at particular risk for pneumonia, renal failure, or septicemia.
