71 year old female patient has been diagnosed with
a "new murmur" found by the hospitalist during their
recent hospitalization for CHF exacerbation. In evalu-
ating the patient, during which phase of the cardiac
cycle would you anticipate auscultation of a S3 or S4
heart sound?

2. The point of maximum impulse (PMI) is MOST often Left 5th intercostal space,
palpable in healthy adults when positioned in the midclavicular line
supine or left lateral decubitus position. Which one of
the following locations is most commonly described
as the PMI in a healthy adult?
*Left 2nd intercostal space, midaxillary line.
*Left 5th intercostal space, midclavicular line.
*Right 4th intercostal space, midaxillary line.
*Right 2nd intercostal space, midclavicular line.

by auscultating the patient's heart while watching the
EKG rhythm. Where would the S1 heart sounds corre-
late with the electrocardiographic waves?
*At the end of the T wave.
*At the start of the T wave.
*Peak of the R wave.

presented with stable cardiac-type chest pain has un- tion
derwent a stress test. He presents today to review
the stress test results, which show EKG findings of
ST segment depression during the exam in leads V3
and V4 as well as some concurrent chest discomfort.
Based on these findings, which of the following are
NOT priority medical decisions?
*Prescribe metoprolol (Lopressor) 12.5mg PO BID
*Prescribe aspirin 81mg PO daily
*Refer to cardiology for angiography
• Check for thyroid dysfunction

auscultate abnormal breath sounds over all fields, and
now assess transmission of voice sounds by having
the patient say "ee" while auscultating the chest with
the diaphragm of your stethoscope. Normally, you
should auscultate a muffled "e" sound, however, you
hear hear a nasally "a" sound. Which one of the follow-

*Positive stereognosis.
*Positive for egophony.
*Negative for bronchophony.
