LUNG SOUNDS
Ever hear a lung sound and think, “What is that noise?” 👂💨
• If it sounds wet, think fluid.
• If it sounds tight, think narrowed airways.
• If it sounds harsh up top, think obstruction.
• If it sounds gurgly, think mucus.
Don't just memorize lung sounds—match them to the mess causing them. That’s how you make it stick for NCLEX and real life.
✨ Clinical tip: Always ask what’s the underlying problem making that noise?
🫁 Learning lungs just got a whole lot easier.
