Question

The clinician is listening to the breath sound of a patient with a history of asthma. Auscultation reveals wheezing. Determine what could potentially be causing these adventitious sounds. Pulmonary fibrosis narrows the airways, causing abnormal airflow. Swollen airways leave little room for the passage of air. Air is trapped as a result of pulmonary edema. Excess fluid in the pleura is causing restrictive airway disease.
