Question Number 131
During lung assessment, the nurse places a stethoscope on a client's chest and instructs him/her to say "99" each time the chest is touched with the stethoscope. Which would be the correct interpretation if the nurse hears the spoken words "99" very clearly through the stethoscope?A. This is a normal auscultatory finding.B. May indicate pneumothorax.C. May indicate pneumonia.D. May indicate severe emphysema.
C - This test (whispered pectoriloquy) demonstrates hyperresonance and helps determine the clarity with which spoken words are heard upon auscultation. Normally, the spoken word is not well transmitted through lung tissue, and is heard as a muffled or unclear transmission of the spoken word. Increased clarity of a spoken word is indicative of some sort of consolidation process (e. g., tumor, pneumonia), and is not a normal finding.
