Wilkins' 7th edition Verified Questions & Answers
2025-2026 Graded A+
Adventitious lung sounds caused by excess airway secretions
moving with airflow (bronchitis, respiratory infections) -
✔✔ANSWER ✔✔-Inspiratory and expiratory crackles
Adventitious lung sounds caused by the sudden opening of
proximal bronchi. (bronchitis, emphysema, congestive heart
failure) - ✔✔ANSWER ✔✔-Early inspiratory crackles
Adventitious lung sounds caused by a sudden opening of
peripheral airways (atelectasis, pneumonia, pulmonary edema,
fibrosis) - ✔✔ANSWER ✔✔-Late inspiratory crackles
An increase in intensity and clarity of vocal resonance -
✔✔ANSWER ✔✔-Bronchophony
,Rapid airflow through a narrow site of the upper airway, causing
the lateral walls to vibrate. High pitched sounds during inhalation.
Caused by croup, epiglottitis, post extubation airway edema,
laryngeal tumor - ✔✔ANSWER ✔✔-Stridor
A creaking or grating type of sound that occurs when the
inflamed plueral membranes rub together - ✔✔ANSWER ✔✔-
Pleural Friction Rub
Normal breath sounds heard around the upper part of sternum,
between scapulae with moderate pitch and moderate intensity -
✔✔ANSWER ✔✔-Bronchiovesicular breath sounds
Normal breath sounds heard over the trachea with high pitch and
loud intensity - ✔✔ANSWER ✔✔-Tracheal breath sounds
Normal breath sounds heard over the peripheral lung areas with
low pitch and soft intensity - ✔✔ANSWER ✔✔-Vesicular breath
sounds
Vibrations created by the vocal cords during phonation -
✔✔ANSWER ✔✔-Vocal Fremitus
,Vibrations transmitted down the tracheobronchial tree and
through the aveoli to the chest wall. These vibrations are felt on
the chest wall - ✔✔ANSWER ✔✔-Tactile Fremitus
Due to diaphragm fatigue, the accessory muscles of breathing
attempt to maintain ventilation. Negative intrathoracic pressure
causes the diaphragm to be pulled upward and the abdomen to
sink inward during inspiration - ✔✔ANSWER ✔✔-Abdominal
Paradox
Periods of breathing using only the chest wall muscles alternating
with periods of breathing entirely by the diaphragm -
✔✔ANSWER ✔✔-Respiratory alternans
Scalenes, sternocleidomastoids, intercostal, pectoral, trapezius,
abdominal wall muscles - ✔✔ANSWER ✔✔-Accessory muscles of
breathing
Inward depression of the skin during inspiration - ✔✔ANSWER
✔✔-Retractions
Outward movement of the skin during exhalation - ✔✔ANSWER
✔✔-Bulging
, The act of touching the chest wall in an effort to evaluate
underlying lung structure and function - ✔✔ANSWER ✔✔-
Palpation
Outward sternal protrusion anteriorly - ✔✔ANSWER ✔✔-Pectus
carinatum
Depression of part or all of the sternum - ✔✔ANSWER ✔✔-Pectus
excavatum
Spinal deformity in which the spine has an abnormal
anteroposterior curvature - ✔✔ANSWER ✔✔-Kyphosis
Spinal deformity in which the spine has a lateral curvature -
✔✔ANSWER ✔✔-Scoliosis
Spinal deformity in which the spine has both a lateral and
anteroposterior curvature - ✔✔ANSWER ✔✔-Kyphoscoliosis
Abnormal increase in anteroposterior chest diameter. Commonly
seen in patients with emphysema due to hypertrophy of the
accessory muscles of breathing and chronic hyperinflation of the
lungs - ✔✔ANSWER ✔✔-Barrel chest
