NUR 2204 FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS VERIFIED
99 test tests for ______________
Tactile fremitus
99 test normal and abnormal findings
Normal: decrease in vibration intensity from top to bottom
Increased: consolidation (mass or fluid); pneumonia
Decreased: hyperinflation or thickened chest wall; pneumothorax
Subcutaneous emphysema
Air in subcutaneous chest wall
What you test when you place hands on either side of spine is called __________
and it's normal for ________________ to have decreased
Thoracic expansion; older people
Hyperresonance on lung percussion indicates ____________________
emphysema
Dullness on lung percussion indicates _______________
consolidation; non-lung organs
Lung consolidation
air in the small airways of the lungs is replaced with a fluid, solid, or other material such
as pus, blood, water, stomach contents, or cells
Causes of lung consolidation
Pneumonia, pulmonary edema, hemorrhage, and carcinoma
, Emphysema
a condition in which the air sacs of the lungs are damaged and enlarged, causing
breathlessness
Angle of Louis aka
manubriosternal junction
This lung has 3 lobes
Right
Lobes that are auscultated via anterior chest
RUL, LUL, RML
Lobes that are auscultated via posterior chest
RLL, LLL
RML is best auscultated
under right arm
Expected lung sounds
bronchial, bronchovesicular, vesicular
Vesicular
- Soft, low-pitched, breezy sounds
- Inspiration > expiration (2.5:1)
- Over most of peripheral lungs
Bronchovesicular
- Medium-pitch, blowing sounds
- Inspiration and expiration equal intensity
- Over bronchi and bronchioles
