Vesicular - answer-Low-pitched, soft sounds heard over peripheral lung fields.
Bronchovesicular - answer-Moderate-pitched sounds heard over main bronchi.
Bronchial (Tracheal) - answer-High-pitched, loud sounds heard over the trachea.
Crackles (Rales) - answer-Popping sounds due to fluid in alveoli (e.g., pneumonia, heart
failure).
Wheezes - answer-High-pitched whistling due to narrowed airways (e.g., asthma,
COPD).
Rhonchi - answer-Low-pitched snoring sounds due to mucus (e.g., bronchitis).
Stridor - answer-High-pitched, harsh sound due to airway obstruction (e.g., croup,
epiglottitis).
Pleural friction rub - answer-Grating sound due to pleural inflammation.
Chest Excursion - answer-Symmetrical movement of the chest during breathing.
Fremitus - answer-Vibration felt on the chest wall when a patient speaks ('99').
Increased fremitus - answer-Indicates consolidation (e.g., pneumonia).
, Decreased fremitus - answer-Indicates pleural effusion, pneumothorax, or obstructed
bronchus.

Murmurs - answer-Turbulent blood flow, graded I-VI.
Pericardial friction rub - answer-Scratchy sound due to pericarditis.

Point, Tricuspid, Mitral.

Acute Pain - answer-Sudden onset, protective (e.g., post-op pain, trauma).
Persistent (Chronic) Pain - answer-Lasts longer than 3-6 months (e.g., arthritis,
neuropathy).
