Answer:

In the lung on the right side it is possible to notice a "Whispered pectoriloquy."

Explanation:

The "Whispered pectoriloquy" presented by the patient's right lung is a sound that the doctor is able to hear, through the stethoscope, coming from inside the right lung. This sound is detected when the doctor asks the patient to speak words and random numbers in a whispered way, if the doctor can hear these whispers clearly through the stethoscope (which must be located on the patient's back) it means that the patient has a problem breathing that allows the accumulation of fluid in the lung. If the patient does not have fluid accumulation in the lung, the doctor will not be able to hear the whispers clearly.

In the case presented above, the doctor was able to hear the whispers which means that the patient has fluid in the right lung.

Select all that apply. Which of the following terms can be used to identify, rename, or explain a clause or phrase in a sentence
Gnom [1K]
The following terms apply: UNNECESSARY, NON ESSENTIAL AND NON RESTRICTIVE.
These three terms are used interchangeably to describe a particular clause or phrase in a sentence.
A clause or phrase is said to be non essential if its removal from the sentence does not affect the main idea or the meaning of the sentence. A sentence will still retains its meaning if a non essential phrase or clause is remove from it. For example, look at this sentence: Faith, who always comes first in her class, is a very intelligent girl. The non essential phrase in the sentence is 'who always comes first'. If this phrase is removed from the sentence, the sentence will still retain its original meaning and the sentence will now read like this: 'Faith is a very intelligent girl'.

Students who purchase parking spots are able to park in the lot closest to the entrance.
a_sh-v [17]
<span>A restrictive clause is an adjective clause that adds essential information to a sentence. This is unlike a nonrestrictive clause, the omission of which would not change the meaning of the sentence. Because "who purchase parking spots" is an essential part of the sentence, the clause is a restrictive clause.</span>
