Question 5

Health History

Answer 5

►Chief Concern

Question 6

► Caused by stimulation of the nerves of the respiratory tract mucosa by the presence of
dust, chemicals, mucus, or inflammation
► Sound is caused by rapid expiratory air movement past the lungs
► Used to clear excess mucus or foreign bodies from the respiratory tract
► Increases chest pressure decreasing venous return to the heart
