C) Tonsils 1+/1-4+ and pink, same color as oral mucosa
D) Tonsils 2+/1-4+ and pink with white particles inside deep crypts –
Correct Answer :A) Tonsils 3+/1-4+ with large white spots

C) resonant to hyper-resonant sounds with percussion and wheezes present
D) diffusely hyper-resonant sounds with percussion, decreased or absent breath sounds per auscultation,
decreased tactile fremitus, and no crackles, wheezes, or rhonchi. –
Correct Answer :D) diffusely hyper-resonant sounds with percussion, decreased or absent breath sounds per
auscultation, decreased tactile fremitus, and no crackles, wheezes, or rhonchi.
COPD is characterized by diffusely hyper-resonant sounds with percussion, decreased or absent breath sounds
per auscultation, decreased tactile fremitus, and no crackles, wheezes, or rhonchi. (Bates, p340)
Which of the following is true about auscultating the heart?
A) the diaphragm is better for picking up the sounds of S1 and S2 and the bell is better for picking up the sounds
of S3 and S4.
B) The bell is better for picking up the sounds of S1 and S2 and the diaphragm is better for picking up the sounds
of S3 and S4.
C) The diaphragm is not necessary for accurate auscultation during the cardiac exam.
D) The bell is not necessary for the cardiac exam, but it is necessary for accurate auscultation during the
abdominal exam. –
Correct Answer :A) the diaphragm is better for picking up the sounds of S1 and S2 and the bell is better for

The nurse practitioner aucultates the heart and hears a murmur which she documents as 4/6 at its loudest point.

Physiologic splitting of the S2 in the 2nd and 3rd interspace, which is usually accentuated by inspiration, is caused
by:
A) the closing of the aortic and pulmonic valves
B) the addition of the S4 sound
C) the addition of the S3 sound
D) the closing of the tricuspid and mitral valves –
Correct Answer :A) the closing of the aortic and pulmonic valves
Physiologic splitting of the S2 = closing of the aortic and pulmonic valves. Usually, the pulmonic valve closure is
too faint to be heart but at the apex. The split is accentuated upon inspiration and disappears on expiration
(Bates, p405).
When assessing a patient's lungs, the nurse recalls that the left lung:
A) is shorter than the right lung because of the underlying stomach.
B) is divided by the horizontal fissure.
C) consists of 2 lobes.
