Wheezing is a high-pitched sound produced by narrowing of an airway. Rales and crackles are crackling sounds that indicate atelectasis, pulmonary edema, or pneumonia. Rhonchi are low-pitched snoring or rumbling sounds that result from mucous secretions in the large airways.

Answer to Question 2

C
Bronchovesicular breath sounds are best heard over the first and second intercostal spaces adjacent to the sternum on the anterior chest.
