 The layer of tissue that covers the interior of the chest wall and helps ensure that the lungs move with the thorax is the | parietal pleura. |
| A likely location to notice retraction during forced inspiration is | the suprasternal notch, the intercostal spaces, the supraclavicular space. |
| The type of motion associated with a free segment of the chest where the segment moves opposite to the rest of the chest during breathing is | paradoxical |
| During the palpation of the chest, you should feel for | tenderness, deformities, depressions, asymmetry. |
| During the check for chest excursion, the distance between your thumbs should increase by what amount during the patient's inspiration? | 3 to 5 cm |
| Increased tactile fremitus suggests which of the following conditions? | pneumonia |
| Which condition is most likely to cause an area of the lung that is dull to percussion? | hemothorax |
| Light popping, nonmusical sounds heard in the chest during inspiration are known as | crackles. |
| The point of maximal impulse (PMI) in the adult is usually located at the | 5th intercostal space, near the midclavicular line. |
| This listing represents the valves of the heart in order as blood flows through them from the vena cavae: | tricuspid, pulmonic, mitral, aortic |
| The "lub" of the heart sounds represent which event of the cardiac cycle? | closing of the tricuspid and mitral valves |
| This element does not affect cardiac output: | hematocrit |
| These elements do affect cardiac output | heart rate, cardiac preload, contractile force, peripheral vascular resistance |
| This does not inhibit venous return to the heart | peripheral vascular resistance |
| The following do inhibit venous return to the heart | hypovolemia, tension pneumothorax cardiac tamponade, congestive heart failure |
| Which abdominal organ is found in all four quandrants? | large intestine |
| An ecchmotic discoloration over the umbilicus is | Cullen's sign. |
| Auscultation of high pitched gurgles and clicks every 5 to 15 seconds in the abdomen indicates | normal bowel sounds. |
| The fleshy folds that cover the vagina are the | labia. |
| the sound or feeling caused by unlubricated bone ends rubbing together is | crepitation. |
| The type of movement permitted between the phalanges is | flexion/extension. |
| Carpal tunnel syndrome involves which nerve | median. |
| The type of movement permitted between the radius, ulna, and humerus is | flexion/extension and supination/pronation. |
| The joint that has the greatest range of motion of any joint in the in the human body is the | shoulder. |
| A major muscle of the calf is the | gastrocnemius. |
| The knee joint involves all of the following bones | femur, patella, tibia. |
| The knee joint does not involve this bone: | fibula. |
| The type of motion permitted by the knee joint is | Flexion/extension and limited rotation. |
| A lateral curvature of the spine is | scoliosis |
| Tenderness at a vertebral process and in the surrounding musculature of the lumbar spine is most likely due to | herniated intervertebral disk. |
| This region of the spine is most mobile | cervical |
| The mid and lower cervical spine permits this type of movement: | flexion, extension, lateral bending, rotation. |
