What are some assesments that i can peform with a stethoscope for my senior project?


any doctors nurses pa's np's in the house? ect. ect.

The stethoscope is useful for listening to the flow of fluids. The canonical uses are for blood flow (especially in the heart) and pulmonary function (air flow). What other fluids flow through the body? Where would you listen, and what problems could you detect based on the sound?

The instances are left as an exercise for the student. :-)
