Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Hyperresonance is heard in patients with chronic asthma and pneumothorax. Pneumonia, atelectasis, and pleural effusion might result in hyporresonance.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2, 3, 5
Thoracic expansion is decreased on the affected side in pneumonia, pneumothorax, and pleural effusion. Bilateral chest expansion is decreased in emphysema. Heart failure would not result in a change in chest expansion.
