Correct Answer is D
Explanation
A. Fluid restriction by mouth is not typically necessary with opioid administration unless other health conditions require it.
B. A low salt diet is unrelated to opioid administration unless there are concurrent health issues like hypertension or fluid retention.
C. A chest x-ray is not indicated solely due to opioid use.

Correct Answer is E
Explanation
A. In asthma, increased airway resistance can lead to decreased fremitus due to air trapping and poor conduction of vibrations.
B. Emphysema results in hyperinflated lungs, which typically decreases tactile fremitus because of increased air in the alveoli.
C. Pneumothorax involves air in the pleural space, leading to decreased tactile fremitus as well, since air does not conduct vibrations well.
D. Acute bronchitis can cause some changes in fremitus, but it typically does not significantly increase it.
E. Pneumonia causes consolidation of lung tissue, which increases tactile fremitus due to enhanced transmission of vibrations through solidified lung tissue.
