Chest injuries can occur from blunt force trauma or penetrating wounds and require careful nursing assessment and monitoring. Common chest injuries include rib fractures, lung contusions and pneumothorax. Nurses play an important role in assessing and treating chest injury patients, providing respiratory support, pain management, and educating on recovery.
