Answer to Question 1

C
A slow, progressive decrease in skin turgor appears in the middle adult.
Pupillary reaction to light and accommodation should not change in the middle adult.
The thyroid lobes should not be palpable in the middle adult.
A normal change in the middle adult is a decreased range of joint motion.

Answer to Question 2

C
Normal vesicular sounds are soft, breezy, and low-pitched. The inspiratory phase is three times longer than the expiratory phase.
Medium-pitched blowing sounds with inspiration equalling expiration are bronchovesicular breath sounds.
Loud, high-pitched, hollow sounds with longer expiration are bronchial breath sounds.
Vesicular sounds are created by air moving through smaller airways. Abnormal breath sounds result from air passing through narrowed airways.
