, 4. What are the 3 types of Adventitious sounds

Answer

Bronchophony


Egophony

Whispered pectoriloquy

5. Bronchophony

Answer

æindistinct voice sound is the expected finding. Normally if the client says ninety-
nine repeatedly it will sound soft, muffled, and unclear. However in an area of
consolidation which is increased density as in pneumonia, the sound will be clearer
and more understandable.


6. Egophony

Answer

Have the client repeat "e-e-e-e," which normally will sound like "e-e-e" through the
stethoscope. However, if there is a consolidation it removes the higher frequency
sounds so you will hear more of an "a-a-a" sound.


7. Whispered pectoriloquy

Answer

the client whispers "1-2-3". Normally you would hear a muffled, faint sound, more
like puffs of air. However, if there is a small consolidation, you will hear the "1-2-3"
a little more clearly or, if it large, it will be very clear, as if they are whispering into
your stethoscope directly.
