Question

question 13 (2 points)
the point of maximal impulse (pmi) is normally located at
right 4th intercostal space
left 5th intercostal space at mid - clavicular line
left 2nd intercostal space
erbs point
question 14 (2 points)
in which scenario would tactile fremitus be decreased?
pleural effusion
pulmonary fibrosis
consolidation
bronchiectasis

Explanation:

For Question 13, the point of maximal impulse (PMI) is typically located at the left 5th intercostal space at the mid - clavicular line. This is a standard anatomical location for the PMI. For Question 14, tactile fremitus is decreased in pleural effusion because the fluid in the pleural space acts as a barrier to the transmission of vibrations from the larynx to the chest wall.

Answer:

Question 13: B. left 5th intercostal space at mid - clavicular line
Question 14: A. Pleural effusion
