The physical examination of the chest is demonstrated, including inspection, palpation, percussion, and auscultation. The quality of breath sound, bilateral air entry, and abnormal breath sounds are discussed. Although the definitions are questionable and the underlying rationale for observing specific areas not provided, the information is clearly and thoroughly presented in an effective format. This program is highly recommended for use. Copyright: The original and derivative copies are under copyright protection. Extent: 015 min. Color: Color Credits: Biff Van Cleve, Michael Pewitt.
