<h2>Inflammation of the pericardial sac is the process that would have occurred within the pericardium.</h2>

Explanation:

  • Post myocardial infarction (MI), pericardial inflammation or early pericarditis is a complication that usually occurs within the first 24-96 hour time period.
  • The high-pitched, scratchy, scraping sound heard with an increase in exhalation when the client leans forward is due to the increased pericardial frictional rub of the inflamed pericardial layers in the pericardial sac.
  • These heart sounds are typical of pericarditis and can be best heard during inspiration as well as forced expiration with the patient in the forward-leaning position.

The drug's mechanism of action includes the inhibition of the acetylcholine's action on skeletal muscles. This inhibition is caused by the binding of the drug on the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and the depolarization of the muscle cell.
