Answer and Explanation 1

1. Answer is B. Hyperresonance is not consistent with a patient with a right lower lobe pneumonia. It is expected in areas of hyperareation such as a pneumothorax. Tactile fremitus, rales, and A to E egophony would be consistent with a patient with a right lower lobe pneumonia. Dullness to percussion in the right lower lobe would be the expected physical finding on a patient with a right lower lobe pneumonia.
