Correct Answer is B
Explanation
A. 3+ edema indicates moderate pitting (indentation depth of 5-7 mm and lasting 10-20 seconds).
B. 1+ edema is classified as slight pitting (indentation depth less than 2 mm that disappears rapidly, typically in less than 10 seconds), making this the correct documentation.
C. 2+ edema indicates moderate pitting (indentation depth of 3-4 mm that lasts up to 15 seconds).
D. +0 indicates no edema present at all.
E. 4+ edema indicates severe pitting (indentation depth of greater than 8 mm and lasting more than 20 seconds).
Correct Answer is E
Explanation
A. In asthma, increased airway resistance can lead to decreased fremitus due to air trapping and poor conduction of vibrations.
B. Emphysema results in hyperinflated lungs, which typically decreases tactile fremitus because of increased air in the alveoli.
C. Pneumothorax involves air in the pleural space, leading to decreased tactile fremitus as well, since air does not conduct vibrations well.
D. Acute bronchitis can cause some changes in fremitus, but it typically does not significantly increase it.
E. Pneumonia causes consolidation of lung tissue, which increases tactile fremitus due to enhanced transmission of vibrations through solidified lung tissue.
