Shadow Health Respiratory Concept Lab with complete solution

Shadow Health Respiratory Concept Lab with complete solution Detail normal air passage when a patient breathes. - CORRECT ANSWSER air rushes through nasal passages and trachea, bronchi , & into lungs where it's absorbed by the alveoli What happens during auscultation? - CORRECT ANSWSER Healthcare professional listen to the heart sounds through a stethoscope What are bronchial sounds and how are these sounds detected? - CORRECT ANSWSER Harsh, high-pitched, & loud sound that can be heard above the manubrium (over the trachea). What are bronchovesicular sounds and how are these sounds detected? - CORRECT ANSWSER Medium in loudness & pitch sounds that can be heard over the main bronchi What are vesicular sounds and how are these sounds detected? - CORRECT ANSWSER The softest and lowest in pitch sounds that are heard over the lower bronchi, bronchioles, and lobes Lungs Lobes - CORRECT ANSWSER Where are vesicular sounds normally heard? - CORRECT ANSWSER peripheral lung tissue What is so important about increased breath sounds? - CORRECT ANSWSER It may detail that the location of breath sounds is off. For instance, if bronchial or bronchovesicular sounds (i.e lounder and harsher) are in peripheral lung tissue (where vesicular sounds usually are) this is due to underlying lung tissues fill with liquid or solid material instead of air. What are adventitious sounds? - CORRECT ANSWSER abnormal sounds present in addition to the normal lungs sounds What are [fine] crackles? - CORRECT ANSWSER High-pitched crackling sounds that occur when inhaled air meets DEFLATED alveoli, causing them to pop open 3 major key points about fine crackles? - CORRECT ANSWSER • short popping sounds • high-pitched • location: usually bases of lower lobes What do fine crackles sound like? - CORRECT ANSWSER like the noise made by rolling a strand of hair b/w the thumb and index finger What is the existence of fine crackles in a vesicular region a likely indicator of? - CORRECT ANSWSER pneumonia What is pneumonia? - CORRECT ANSWSER An inflammatory condition of the lung usually caused by an infection What is so important about detecting pneumonia through something like adventitious sounds? - CORRECT ANSWSER Pneumonia is a major cause of death among all age groups, resulting in 4 million deaths (7% of the world's total death) yearly. What are coarse crackles? - CORRECT ANSWSER Loud, low-pitched bubbling sounds caused when air meets SECRETIONS in the large airways 3 major key points about coarse crackles? - CORRECT ANSWSER • short crackling sounds • low-pitched • location: trachea & large bronchi What do coarse crackles sound like? - CORRECT ANSWSER like separating a velcro fastener What are rhonchi? - CORRECT ANSWSER Continuous, low-pitched snoring/moaning sounds causing by airway obstruction from thick secretions, muscular constriction, or masses 3 major key points about rhonchi? - CORRECT ANSWSER • long snoring sounds • low-pitched • location: bronchi What are wheezes? - CORRECT ANSWSER Continuous , high-pitched musical sounds made by narrowing of airways from swelling, secretions, or masses 3 major key points about wheezes? - CORRECT ANSWSER • long musical sounds • high-pitched • location: all lung fields What type of adventitious sound is the most serious and requires immediate attention? - CORRECT ANSWSER stridor *note* usually audible w/o stethoscope What is stridor? - CORRECT ANSWSER loud, continuous, high-pitched crowing sound caused by upper airway obstruction 3 major key points about stridor? - CORRECT ANSWSER • long crowing sounds • high-pitched • location: trachea
