NR 509 Exam Question Bank
Question 1


The line that bisects the center of each clavicle at a point halfway between the palpated

sternoclavicular and acromioclavicular joints is the:




midsternal line.


midclavicular line.


mid vertebral line.


mid scapular line.




Explanation:


The midclavicular line bisects the center of each clavicle at a point halfway between the

palpated sternoclavicular and acromioclavicular joints. It is used as a reference line to

pinpoint a finding vertically on the chest.


Question 2


When palpating the thorax, a crackling, popping noise under the skin is heard. On

auscultation, a sound similar to hair being rubbed between the fingers is noted. These

symptoms could be consistent with:

,pneumonia.


hemothorax.


pneumothorax.


bronchitis.




Explanation:


Subcutaneous emphysema is the condition described in the question. This can be

caused by pneumothorax because this condition allows air to be introduced into the

tissue. Hemothorax refers to blood in the chest and crepitus is not associated with this

condition. Pneumonia and bronchitis do not produce subcutaneous emphysema.


Question 3


To document chest findings located below the scapulae, which one of the following

terms would be used?




Infraclavicular


Supraclavicular


Interscapular

,Infrascapular




Explanation:


The general anatomical terms used to locate chest findings should include the following:

infrascapular refers to below the scapulae; supraclavicular denotes above the clavicles;

infraclavicular refers to that area below the clavicles; and interscapular is between the

scapulae.


Question 4


A 37-year-old female has audible stridor. This type of stridor is consistent with:




bronchiectasis.


pulmonary fibrosis.


cysticfibrosis.


a foreign object lodged in the upper trachea.




Explanation:


Audible stridor is a high-pitched wheeze. This is an ominous sign of upper airway

obstruction in the larynx or trachea. Clubbing of the nails occurs in bronchiectasis,

, congenital heart disease, pulmonary fibrosis, cystic fibrosis, lung abscess, and

malignancy. These conditions are more characteristic of lower airway diseases.


Question 5


When percussing the right upper posterior area of the chest, a dullness replaces the

resonance sound usually heard in the lung. This sound would be suggestive of:




lobar pneumonia.


emphysema.


asthma.


pneumothorax. Incorrect




Explanation:


Normal lungs are resonant and produce loud low-pitched sounds when percussed. If

dullness replaces resonance, consider a lung with fluid or solid tissue replacing the air.

Examples include pleural effusion, hemothorax, lobar pneumonia, or empyema.

Emphysema, asthma, and a pneumothorax produce hyperresonance when the lungs

are percussed.


Question 6


Orthopnea is typically associated with all of the following conditions except:
