And Answers Verified 100% Correct
When auscultating breath sounds in a patient who has left sided heart failure, the
breath sounds are:
-vesicular with late inspiratory crackles in the dependent portions of the lungs and
resonant on percussion.
bronchial with late inspiratory crackles over the involved area and dull on
percussion.
vesicular without adventitious sounds and resonant on percussion.
Incorrect: decreased with some audible wheezes and diffusely
hyperresonant on percussion. - ANSWER -vesicular with late inspiratory crackles
in the dependent portions of the lungs and resonant on percussion.
Breath sounds consisting of a full inspiratory phase and a shortened and softer
expiratory phase normally audible over the hilar region of the chest are termed:
vesicular.
Bronchial
Bronchovesicular.
rhonchi. - ANSWER -Bronchovesicular.
An acute viral illness that presents with a burning retrosternal discomfort and a
dry cough is suggestive of:
tracheobronchitis.
Chronic bronchitis.
bronchiectasis.
laryngitis. - ANSWER -tracheobronchitis.
One of the anterior thoracic landmarks is the costal angle. It is located:
-where the manubrium and body of the sternum intersect.
-where the right and left costal margins form an angle where they meet at the
xiphoid process.
-where the suprasternal notch and the sternum form an angle.
-at the angle where the ninth and tenth ribs are fused. - ANSWER -where the right
and left costal margins form an angle where they meet at the xiphoid process.
Atypical respiratory symptoms associated with gastroesophageal disease (GERD)
may include all of the following except:
Coughing
, wheezing.
Aspiration pneumonia.
rhinitis. - ANSWER -rhinitis.
On auscultation of the chest, if the patient says "ninety-nine" and it is clearly
heard, this is indicative of:
-a normal sounding chest.
lung density in the area.
consolidation or compression in the area.
of inflammation in the area. - ANSWER -lung density in the area.
Respiratory effort in the neonate is initiated at birth as a result of:
an increase in the PO2 and a decrease in PCO2.
the continued functioning of the foramen ovale.
chemical, thermal, and mechanical factors.
drying off the infant. - ANSWER -chemical, thermal, and mechanical factors.
Adventitious breath sounds, such as crackles, are:
-low-pitched, dry, grating sounds heard on inspiration and expiration.
continuous, high-pitched, and musical heard on inspiration and expiration.
continuous, low-pitched and prolonged and heard on expiration.
popping, frying sounds, may be low or high-pitched and usually heard on
inspiration - ANSWER -popping, frying sounds, may be low or high-pitched and
usually heard on inspiration
Breath sounds heard on chest over the hilar region are:
bronchial.
abnormal.
Bronchovesicular.
vesicular. - ANSWER -Bronchovesicular.
Breath sounds consisting of a full inspiratory and expiratory phase with the
inspiratory phase usually being louder and normally heard over the trachea and
larynx are considered:
Bronchial
