first year of yourbaby’s life”
2) During percussion the FNP knows that a dull percussion note elicited over a
lung lobe. This mostlikely results from:
Increased density of lung tissue
3) The patient is unable to differentiate between sharp and dull stimulation to

Sternomastoid and trapezius

accessible are the:
Head and neck, arms, inguinal area, and axillae
