Vesicular Sounds
The type of peripheral lung field sound is described as low-pitched, with
inspiration greater than expiration
What is > 160 degrees
The patient with congenital heart disease or COPD may have what degree
of nail bed during a profile sign assessment.
What is S1
This sounds corresponds with the carotid artery pulse
What is S2
This sound is the result of the closure of the aortic and pulmonic valves
What is a tension headache
This type of headache is characterized by non-throbbing and vise-like
What are the cervical nodes
These nodes drain the head and neck
What is wheezes
This type of sound is due to narrowing of the airway due to obstruction or
inflammation
What is CN XI (spinal accessory)?
This cranial nerve is intact when the client is able shrug their shoulders
What is arteriosclerosis
This is the thickening and loss of elasticity in the arterial walls.
What is pursed-lip breathing?
, This common manifestation of COPD assists the patient in keeping airways
open longer during exhalation.
What is crackles?
This sound is caused by fluid in the lungs
What is atelactic crackles?
This popping and crackling sound heard in the lungs when a client wakes
up, but clears with or deep breathing.
What is stridor?
This high-pitched inspiratory crowing sound is commonly associated with
an upper airway obstruction.
What are lymph nodes
These structures should be small, movable, and non-tender when palpating
the neck, axilla and inguinal region
What is asymmetry, border, color, diameter, elevation or evolution, funny
looking?
The ABCDEF rule for skin assessment strands for
What is increased tactile fremitus?
This palpable finding is caused by increased consolidation in the lung
tissue, like in pneumonia.
What is claudication
This arterial insufficiency can cause cramping in the lower extremities that
is relieved with rest.
What is bruit?
This sound is caused by turbulent blood flow through the carotid artery.
What is the second left interspace?
This location is where the pulmonic valve is best auscultated.
What is eye opening, motor response to simuli, and verbal response?
The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) includes which parameters scoring
