Question 1 of 5
When auscultating breath sounds, the nurse auscultates over the following locations:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Anterior and posterior aspects of all lung fields. When auscultating breath sounds, it is essential to listen to the front (anterior) and back (posterior) aspects of all lung fields. This comprehensive approach allows for a thorough assessment of breath sounds throughout the lungs.
Choices A, C, and D are incorrect.
Choice A is too limited as it only focuses on the trachea and lateral areas, not covering all lung fields.
Choice C is also too limited, referring to specific sections of the lungs (mid section and lateral section).
Choice D is incorrect as it suggests comparing specific lines on the chest (mid-clavicular to mid-axillary), which is not a standard practice for auscultating breath sounds.
