ANS: B
This sound is an S3 and is often heard in children and young adults. It is usually a benign finding but should be documented in the chart. A cardiology consult is not needed, nor does the nurse need to notify the provider immediately. Because this sound is not usually associated with heart disease, the nurse does not need to perform an assessment of fluid balance.
