NSG 6020 WEEK 3 QUIZ
A condition associated with a chronic cough that produces copious amounts of purulent sputum is most
likely: bronchiectasis
When performing a respiratory assessment on a 4-year-old child, further evaluation is warranted in the
presence of: supraclavicular retractions
When percussing the chest in a patient who has left sided heart failure, the sound emanated would be:
resonant
Stridor heard louder in the neck than over the chest wall indicates: a partial obstruction in the larynx
The middle section of the thoracic cavity containing the esophagus, trachea, heart, and great vessels is
the: mediastinum
An acute viral illness that presents with a burning retrosternal discomfort and a dry cough is suggestive
of: tracheobronchitis
On auscultation of the chest, if the patient says “ninety-nine” and it is clearly heard, this is indicative of:
lung density in the area
When percussing the right upper posterior area of the chest, a dullness replaces the resonance sound
usually heard in the lung. This sound would be suggestive of: lobar pneumonia
When percussing the posterior chest, which one of the following techniques would be omitted? Percuss
the areas over the scapular.
Then angle of Louis is a useful place to start counting ribs. This landmark is located: on the manubrium
and body of the sternum.
When auscultating breath sounds, use the diaphragm of the stethoscope by placing it initially on the:
posterior chest at the cervical 7 level.
Orthopnea is typically associated with hall of the following conditions except: pulmonary embolus.
When percussing the lower posterior chest, begin by: standing on the side rather than directly behind
the patient.
Breath sounds heard over the periphery of the lung fields are: vesicular
When inspecting the chest for respiratory effort, which one of the following is not part of the inspection?
Assessment for tactile fremitus.
Pain from pleurisy may be referred to the: epigastric area.
To locate the twelfth rib, palpate: between the spine and the lateral chest
Breath sounds auscultated over the periphery of the lung fields are quiet and wispy during the
inspiratory phase followed by a short, almost silent expiratory phase. These breath sounds are
considered: vesicular.
When technique best determines whether the tissues in the chest are air filled, fluid-filled, or solid?
Percussion
