- B) Tenderness reported upon deep palpation.
- C) Firm mass palpated at bottom of left rib cage.
- D) Softness in the lateral aspect of the abdomen.

### Question 2
In auscultating for the presence of a carotid artery bruit, the nurse places
the bell of the stethoscope at which location?
- A) Over the left subclavian artery.
- B) Over the aortic arch.
- C) Over the carotid artery.
- D) Over the temporal artery.

### Question 3
, 4
A male client arrives at the clinic for a follow-up health assessment after
recent antibiotic treatment for pneumonia without
hospitalization. Which technique should the nurse implement to assess
for adventitious lung sounds?
- A) Place the stethoscope's diaphragm lightly on the skin.
- B) Press the stethoscope's diaphragm firmly on the skin over each lung
field.
- C) Ask the client to breathe normally while using the bell of
the stethoscope.
- D) Use the diaphragm lightly over each lung field and listen for changes.
ANSWER:B) Press the stethoscope's diaphragm firmly on the skin over
each lung field.
Expert Rationale:Applying the diaphragm firmly enhances the
transmission of breath sounds and allows the nurse to detect any
adventitious sounds such as wheezes or crackles effectively.
### Question 4
A 29-year-old male client informs the nurse that he came to the clinic to
see if, "Maybe I have lung cancer or something," and wants to get
checked out since, "I can't seem to get rid of this body-wracking dry
cough that has been hanging around for the last six weeks." Which
computer documentation of this client's concerns should the nurse enter?
- A) "Patient reports a persistent cough accompanied by wheezing."
