Question

question 15 (2 points) which of the following best defines an auscultatory gap? an abnormal sound heard during expiration a prolonged pause between korotkoff phases 1 and 5 a drop in diastolic pressure during standing a temporary disappearance of korotkoff sounds between systolic and diastolic readings question 16 (2 points) what distinguishes an innocent murmur from a pathological murmur? presence of chest pain occurrence in the carotid arteries absence of valve stenosis or regurgitation timing during diastole

Explanation:

• An auscultatory gap is defined as a temporary disappearance of Korotkoff sounds between systolic and diastolic readings during blood - pressure measurement.
• An innocent murmur is not associated with valve stenosis or regurgitation, while a pathological murmur often is related to such structural heart problems.

Question 16: Absence of valve stenosis or regurgitation
