Question 45

2 / 2 pts

Which of the following occurs when firm pressure is used to apply the stethoscope's bell end-piece to the skin?

Most sounds are amplified. It functionally converts to a diaphragm endpiece. It transmits low-pitched sounds. Assessment findings are more accurate.

The bell of the stethoscope is built to utilize the dead space between the patient's skin and the hollow inside of the bell. If firm pressure is applied, the patient's skin may come into contact with the interior of the bell. This eliminates this hollow space and it functions as a diaphragm, eliminating the ability to auscultate vascular sounds any better than a diaphragm would.
