Left lung Correct Answer 2 lobes: Vesicular Left Superior & Vesicular Left Inferior Abnormal lung sounds Correct Answer Diminished or absent breath sounds, increased breath sounds, & adventitious sounds. Decreased Breath Sounds Correct Answer Normal lungs sounds are usually easy to hear with a stethoscope. Occasionally you will hear sounds that are decreased in intensity, or even absent. Decreased breaths sounds occur in airway disease or obstruction, diaphragm paralysis, or impairment of sound transmission through the chest wall. Worsening symptoms may lead to absent breath sounds. Absent lung sounds usually indicate that no air is moving in the lung tissue. Increased Breath Sounds Correct Answer A common abnormal finding is hearing bronchial or bronchi vesicular sounds, which are louder and harsher, in peripheral lung tissue where vesicular sounds are normally heard. This occurs when underlying lung tissue is filled with liquid or solid material, rather than air. [Show More]
