Hearing tests are performed to assess the cochlear portion of this nerve. Tests to assess equilibrium, such as observation of the client's balance when the client is walking or standing, involve the vestibular portion. A nurse performing a neurological assessment of a client who has sustained a stroke (brain attack) is preparing to check for stereognosis. Which action should the nurse take to perform this assessment? 1. Placing an object in the client's hand and asking the client to identify it 2. Tracing a number on the client's hand and asking the client to identify it 3. Moving the client's finger up and down and asking the client which way it is being moved 4.

Discontinuous hi gh-pitched crackling sounds heard during inspiration that do not clear with coughing Fine Crackles Loud, low -pitched bubbling and gurgling sounds heard on inspiration (may be present on expiration); may decrease with coughing or suctioning but reappear Coarse Crackles High -pitched, continuous musical sounds heard during inspiration or expiration Wheezing Loud, low -pitched, coarse rumbling sounds heard during inspiration or expiration; may be cleared by coughing Rhonchi Dry, grating quality sounds heard best during inspiration; does not clear with coughing Pleural Friction Rub Moderately pitched; heard over the major bronchi Bronchovesicular sounds Low-pitched rustling; heard over the peripheral lung fields Vesicular soun ds High -pitched, with a harsh, hollow, tubular quality heard over the trachea and larynx Bronchial sounds A nurse preparing to perform a respiratory assessment of an adult client is reading the client's medical record.

The client has normal, healthy lungs. Resonance on percussion predominates in healthy adult lung tissue. When too much air is present such as in the case of emphysema where it is trapped in the alveol i and pneumothorax where it is trapped in the pleural space leading to lung collapse. Hyperresonance Indicates an abnormal density in the lungs, such as that noted in pneumonia, pleural effusion, or atelectasis or in the presence of a tumor. Dull note on p ercussion of the lungs A nurse performing a breast examination is preparing to palpate the client's breasts. Into which position should the nurse assist the client to perform palpation? 1. A standing position, with the client holding both arms above her h ead 2. A standing position, with the client holding her hands firmly on her hips 3. A supine position, with the arm on the side being examined positioned across the chest 4.

A supine position, with the arm on the side being examined positioned behind the head and a small pillow placed under the shoulder on the same side To palpate the breasts, the nurse assi sts the client into a supine position and positions the client's arm on the side being examined behind the head. A small pillow is placed under the shoulder on the same side. The nurse uses the pads of the first three fingers to gently compress the breast tissue against the chest wall and notes tissue consistency. Palpation is performed systematically, with care taken to ensure that the entire breast and tail are palpated. A nurse performing a neck assessment of a client is testing the status of cranial ner ve XI. What does the nurse ask the client to do to enable assessment of this nerve? 1. Smile 2. Lift the eyebrows
