Question 1 of 5
Which of the following would be considered an abnormal finding and require prompt follow up when auscultating breath sounds?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Wheezes on inspiration are abnormal, indicating narrowed airways, possibly due to conditions like asthma or COPD, and require prompt follow-up. Vesicular sounds at the apex or base are normal, and rhonchi that clear with coughing may not indicate a serious issue.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is conducting a psychosocial assessment. Which of the following would be included in this assessment? (Select all that apply)

Tool evaluates the patient's ability to perform daily tasks, both of which are components of a psychosocial assessment. The CAGE assessment is specific to alcohol use, and the Heinrich Fall Scale is related to fall risk, not psychosocial assessment.
