Answer 1

Answer #1

Correct answer is option D - CRACKLES.

Expalnation :CRACKLES - Discrete non musical non continuous sound, which is produced by moisture in the lungs.

In left heart failure, left atrial pressure rises due to left ventricular failure - - - >It increase the pressure in pulmonary veins - - - >leads to pulmonary edema and fluid collection in the interstitial spaces and thus interrupt the flow of oxygen and cause crackles.

STRIDOR - Loud musical sound more during inspiration, produced when there is obstruction in trachea or larynx

FRICTION RUB - It can be pericardial friction rub or Pleural friction rub. Pericardial friction rub is a scratchy sound heard in pericarditis.

Pleural rub is low pitch harsh grating sound heard when 2 layers of pleura rubs each other, seen in pleurisy.

EXPIRATORY WHEEZES- High pitched, continuous musical sound produced when air is forced through narrow passages.
