Explanation / Answer

1. When listening to lung sounds, you are listening for-

a) Normal breath sounds, OR wheezes, rales, rhonchi, or stridor

Explanation- Wheezes and rales are abnormal lung sounds. Rales are produced from movement of liquid through abnormal collapsed alveoli. Rales are also called as crackles. Wheezes are sounds produced by air moving through constricted air pathways. Low-pitched wheezes are called rhonchi. When a larger air pathway is blocked, then a high pitched sound is produced and is known as stridor.
