Explain how to listen for respiratory sounds with a stethoscope
Ans) Placement of stetoscope while auscultation:
- right AND left sides of the lungs in order to compare sounds and must be performed anterior, posterior, and lateral to assess all areas.
Consider:
1. patient should be sitting if possible (best lung
expansion)
2. environment should be quiet
3. stethoscope should touch bare skin
4. listen with the diaphragm (flat side)
5. begin at apices and move down, alternating from R to L
6. have patient breath in and out through mouth
That part of IPPA that involves the stethoscope is auscultation. During auscultation, the RCP will be appreciating both "breath sounds" and "adventitious sounds". Which of the following contains only "breath sounds"? A) Crackles, vesicular, bronchial B) Vesicular, wheeze, pleural rub C) Bronchovesicular, bronchial, crackles D) Vesicular, bronchial, bronchovesicular

1. During auscultation and palpation of the cardiovascular system, why do we hear 2 heart sounds but only feel 1 pulse? 2. Why can't we listen to one's pulse with a stethoscope, like we can listen to heart sounds?
Horseshoe bats (genus Rhinolophus) emit sounds from their nostrils, then listen to the frequency of the sound reflected from their prey to determine the prey's speed. (The "horseshoe" that gives the bat its name is a depression around the nostrils that acts like a focusing mirror, so that the bat emits sound in a narrow beam like a flashlight.) A Rhinolophus flying at speed vbat emits sound of frequency fbat; the sound it hears reflected from an insect flying toward...
Oil explorers often set off explosives to make loud sounds, then listen for the echoes from underground oil deposits. Geologists suspect that there is oil under 515-m-deep Lake Physics. It's known that Lake Physics rests on top of solid granite. The speed of sound in water is 1480 m/s and the speed of sound in granite is 6000 m/s. Part A If an explosion is created at the surface of the lake, what time after the explosion do the explorers...
