Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Palpation is an assessment technique that uses the sense of touch. The hands and fingers can assess temperature, turgor, texture, moisture, vibrations, and shape.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Auscultation is the act of listening with a stethoscope to sounds produced within the body. Four characteristics are assessed and documented: pitch (high to low), loudness (soft to loud), quality (gurgling or swishing), and duration (short, medium, long). Resonance is measured with percussion. Turgor and texture are assessed with palpation.
