Question:

To auscultate for S3 or S4 gallops in the mitral area, the nurse listens with the

• bell of the stethoscope w/ the patient in the L lateral position
• diaphragm of the stethoscope w/ the patient in a supine position
• bell of the stethoscope w/ the patient sitting and leaning forward
• diaphragm of the stethoscope w/ the patient lying flat on the left side

Answer:

• bell of the stethoscope w/ the patient in the L lateral position

Gallop rhythms generate low-pitched sounds and are most easily heard with the bell of the stethoscope. Sounds associated with the mitral valve are accentuated by turning the patient to the left side, which brings the heart closer to the chest wall. The diaphragm of the stethoscope is best to use for the higher-pitched sounds such as S1 and S2.
