Feedback
A Having the patient sitting upright is used for assessing lung expansion and symmetry of the upper extremities.
B Having the patient standing is not the best position for auscultating a heart murmur.
C Positioning the patient onto the left side brings the heart closer to the chest wall.
D The dorsal recumbent position is best used for abdominal assessment.
