VERIFIED 100% SOLUTIONS (2026/2027) GRADE: A+|STATUS:
GUARANTEED PASS
Biot respirations - Answers --Irregular respirations varying in depth and interrupted by intervals
of apnea that lacks repetitive pattern
-Associated with severe and persistent increased intracranial pressure, respiratory compromise
resulting from drug poisoning, or brain damage at the level of the medulla and generally
indicates a poor prognosis
Cheyne-Stokes respirations - Answers --A regular periodic pattern of breathing with intervals of
apnea followed by a crescendo/decrescendo sequence of respiration is called periodic breathing
-Children and older adults may exhibit this pattern during sleep, but otherwise it occurs in
patients who are seriously ill, particularly those with brain damage at the cerebral level, with
drug-associated respiratory compromise or severe congestive heart failure.
Hamman sign - Answers -Mediastinal crunch is found with mediastinal emphysema. A great
variety of sounds (loud crackles, clicking, and gurgling sounds) are heard over the precordium.
Vesicular - Answers -breath sounds that are low-pitched, low-intensity sounds heard over
healthy lung tissue.
Bronchovesicular - Answers -Breath sounds that are heard over the major bronchi and are
typically moderate in pitch and intensity

,Bronchial - Answers -The sounds highest in pitch and intensity are the bronchial breath sounds,
which are ordinarily heard only over the trachea.
§ Bronchophony - Answers -· Greater clarity when a spoken sound is auscultated
§ Pectoriloquy - Answers -· Whispered word is heard with clarity in the presence of
consolidation
§ Egophony - Answers -· When a spoken "E" is heard as an "A"
Increased lung fremitus - Answers -Occurs in the presence of fluids or a solid mass within the
lungs and may be caused by lung consolidation, heavy but nonobstructive bronchial secretions
or compressed lung
Ammonia breath odor - Answers -Uremia (ammonia)
Hallitosis breath odor - Answers -Tonsilitis, gingivitis, respiratory infection, GERD
2|Page
, Cinnamon breath odor - Answers -TB
Fish, clover breath odor - Answers -Fetor hepaticus, hepatic failure, portal vein thrombosis,
portocaval shunts
Fecal breath odor - Answers -bowel obstruction
Resonance in the lungs - Answers -the expected sound, can usually be heard over all areas of
the lungs.
Hyperresonance in the lungs - Answers -Associated with hyperinflation may indicate
emphysema, pneumothorax, or asthma.
Dullness or flatness in the lungs - Answers -Diminished air movement and suggests pneumonia,
atelectasis, pleural effusion, or asthma.
Murphy's sign - Answers -Pain with palplation of gall bladder (seen with cholecystitis)
Causes for abdominal distention - Answers -obstruction
diuretics
