Question

When auscultating an animal's lungs, you separate the right and left thorax into _______ quadrants.

a. seven
b. nine
c. five
d. three?

Answer 1

The answer to this question would be nine quadrants

Auscultating is an examination where you put stethoscope into the patient chest and try to hear their breathing/heart sound. The lung is a big organ but contains multiple lobes, so when there is an abnormality in a part the sound might not be heard in the other lobes.
It is important to auscultate the lung into at least 9 quadrants so you won't miss it.
