In assessing tactile fremitus in the client with suspected pneumonia, the nurse should perform which action?

Place the palm of the hand on the chest wall to feel vibrations while the client speaks.

Looking at the client from the side, observe the size and shape of the chest wall.

Use a stethoscope to listen to and compare breath sounds anteriorly and posteriorly.

Use the fingertips to compress tissue over the lungs for evidence of a crackling sensation.
