KROK 1 2021 – Question 88 · KROK (Medicine) · Human Anatomy
During patient examination, the doctor conducts auscultation to assess the functioning of the mitral valve. Where can the tones of this valve be auscultated?
- A. At the edge of the sternum on the right, opposite the cartilage of rib 5
- B. At the edge of the sternum, in the second intercostal space on the left
- C. At the edge of the sternum on the left, opposite the cartilage of rib 5
- D. At the edge of the sternum, in the second intercostal space on the right
- E. At the cardiac apex
Hint
Auscultation sites do not coincide with valve projections, because sound travels with the blood flow to the nearest contact of the chamber behind the valve with the chest wall.
