Respiratory System Questions Questions
Question 1 of 4
During the physical examination of a client, which of the following methods does the examiner use to palpate for tactile or vocal fremitus?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. Tactile or vocal fremitus is assessed by placing the palms of the hands or the ulnar surface of the fingers on the chest wall while asking the patient to say 'ninety-nine' or '11'. This method allows the examiner to feel vibrations transmitted through the lung tissue. B is incorrect because repeating '11' is part of auscultation, not palpation. C refers to percussion, which is unrelated. D is incorrect as no vibrations are observed when the client remains quiet.
