For the purpose of CPNE, It's recommended that you auscultate Posteriorly from left to right only!!! On the Skin !!! for comparison of two upper, and two lower lobes from left upper, to right upper, then left lower, to right lower. You should simplify what you've been taught in nursing school for this particular area of care...they are not looking for you to be the doc, they are looking to see that you follow the directions in the Study guide. Place the diagram at points 1 and 2, and 7 and 8, first you must warm it, and also make sure that you are not auscultating over bone, or you will fail. It's only required that you listen to upper and lower not at all points on this picture. So, again listen from left upper to right upper, then change your positioning to lower left and lower right, then give your patient the directions specified in your study guide, then reposition your patient gel and Chart your findings based on this required AOC. If anyone is not sure what to record, just ask me and I will fill it in...otherwise i will be adding the Mnemonics soon....have fun guys..
