rib elasticity
assessment
inflexible sternum
intensity
during auscultation of lungs, pitch
assess for: quality
duration of sound
normal excursion distance falls 3 -5 cm
between:
where are high pitched, high trachea
intensity breath sounds heard
where are low pitched, low lungs
intensity breath sounds heard
calcification of rib articulations
decreased chest expansion in respiratory muscle weakness
older adults can be due to: physical disability
sedentary lifestyle
, kyphosis with lumbar curve flattening
normal lung assessment findings
marked bony prominences
in an older adult
increased anteroposterior diameter
dyspnea difficulty breathing
orthopnea difficulty breathing when supine
platypnea sob relieved by laying down

methods of assessing lungs
ausculation
percussion
normal inspection of lung anterior-posterior diameter< lateral diameter
findings:
thoracic cage bony structure with conical shape
thorax surface landmarks
sternum, 12 ribs, 12 thoracic vertebrae
costochonral junction where ribs join cartilages; not palpabl
suprasternal notch U shaped depression above sternum, between clavicles
sternum manubrium, body, xiphoid process
"angle of louis" at articulation of manubrium and sternum. marks
manubriosternal angle site of tracheal bifurcation into right and left bronchi.
corresponds with upper border of atria of heart
bony spur protruding at the base of neck.
vertebra prominens
This is spinous process of C7 upper ( T1 is lower)
Count down these knobs on the vertebrae, which stack together
spinous processes
on form spinal column.
The scapulae are located symmetrically in each hemithorax. The
inferior border of scapula
lower tip is usually at the seventh or eighth rib.
palpate midway between the spine and the person's side to
twelfth rib
