Question 1 of 5

The nurse is assessing the heart sounds of a client. The nurse understands that to listen to the pulmonic valve, the stethoscope should be placed where?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Second left intercostal space.
To listen to the pulmonic valve, the stethoscope should be placed at the second left intercostal space. This is because the pulmonic valve is best auscultated at the second left intercostal space along the sternal border. Placing the stethoscope at this specific location allows for optimal detection of the sounds produced by the pulmonic valve during the cardiac cycle. Placing the stethoscope at other locations, such as the fifth intercostal space, left of the midclavicular line (choice
A), left lower sternal border (choice
B), or second right intercostal space (choice
D), would not provide the best positioning for accurately assessing the pulmonic valve.
Therefore, choices A, B, and D are incorrect in this scenario.
