Sounds from the heart
Sounds caused by digestion
What does “auscultate” mean?
To feel the pulse
To listen with a stethoscope
To measure blood pressure
To take a temperature
Wheezing is caused by:
Fluid in alveoli
Narrowed airways
Collapsed lung
Mucus in the throat
Rales (crackles) can be defined by what sound:
Clicking/ Rattling “Slurping a straw”
Air moving through fluid in alveoli
Snoring/ Rumbling “Junk in the lungs”
Very Loud turbulent High pitched “heard from across the room”
Rhonchi sounds like:
Clicking/ Rattling “Slurping a straw”
High pitch musical sounds
Snoring/ Rumbling “Junk in the lungs”
Very Loud turbulent High pitched “heard from across the room”
Stridor is a sign of:
Clear lungs (normal)
Upper airway obstruction (blockage)
Normal breathing
Excessive Coughing
Pink, frothy sputum usually indicates:
Pneumonia
Asthma
CHF “Congestive Heart Failure”
Dehydration
Green or yellow sputum usually means:
Infection
Allergies

Asthma
When should a TB skin test (PPD) be read?
24 hours

Same day
After a positive PPD test, the next step is:

Repeat the test
Get a chest X-ray
Start steroids
Wheezing sounds like:
Clicking/ Rattling “Slurping a straw”
High pitch musical sounds
Snoring/ Rumbling “Junk in the lungs”
Very Loud turbulent High pitched “heard from across the room”

Heart
Diaphragm
Biceps
Lung
How many lungs does the human body have?
One
Two
Three
Four
What gas do we exhale when we breathe out?
Oxygen
Carbon dioxide
Hydrogen
Nitrogen
Which system works closely with the respiratory system to transport gases through the body?
Digestive system
Circulatory/cardiac system
Nervous system
Muscular system
Usually TB treatments lasts?
2–3 weeks
6–9 months
1–2 months
1 year
The most common symptom of active TB is?
High blood pressure
Cough up blood
A stroke
Fever
A patient with pneumonia will likely have:
Clear lungs
Crackles
Stridor
No breath sounds
Chronic bronchitis is defined by:
Fever and cough
Cough for 3 months out the year for 2 years
Rapid oxygen decline
Lung collapse
Nurses must wear an N95 mask for:
Contact precautions
Droplet precautions
Airborne precautions
Standard care
What is pulmonary edema?
An infection of the bronchi
Fluid buildup in the air sacs (alveoli) of the lungs
Narrowing of the airways
A collapse of the lung and broken windpipe
What two diseases fall under the COPD umbrella
AIDS and HIV
Melanoma and heart failure
Emphysema and chronic bronchitis
Asthma and stridor
True or False: Pink puffer is a clinical presentation of emphysema.
True
False
True or False: Crackles sound like snoring or rumbling.
True
False
True or False: Rhonchi are high‑pitched musical sounds.
True
False
True or False: Stridor is a medical emergency.
True
False
True or False: Pneumonia fills the alveoli with fluid.
True
False
True or False: TB is spread by airborne droplets.
True
False
True or False: A nurse must be fit‑tested for an N95 mask.
True
False
True or False: Asthma only affects children.
True
False
True or False: The device used to check oxygen saturation is a doppler.
True
False
True or False: Oxygen saturation below 90% is concerning.
True
False
Select all asthma triggers.
Pollen or dust
Cold air
Exercise
Aspirin or other NSAIDs
High‑sodium diet
Can latent TB be spread, and why?
Yes, because the bacteria are contagious even without symptoms
No, because the bacteria are inactive and there is no cough to spread them
Yes, because any TB infection always spreads through touch
No, because TB only spreads through contaminated food
Why must breath sounds be auscultated directly on skin?
To prevent contamination of the stethoscope
Because clothing attenuates and obscures lung sounds, causing inaccurate assessment
To maintain patient privacy
To check skin temperature during auscultation
What is a normal oxygen saturation and a normal respiration rate per minute when taking vital signs?
SpO2 90–94%; RR 8–12 per minute
SpO2 95–100%; RR 12–20 per minute
SpO2 80–89%; RR 20–28 per minute
SpO2 100% only; RR 6–10 per minute
Why must nurses wear an N95 mask when caring for a TB patient?
To provide supplemental oxygen to the patient
Because TB is transmitted via airborne particles, and N95 respirators filter them effectively
To reduce noise during procedures
Because TB is spread only by contact and N95 prevents skin exposure
