So I begin an ADN program this August, and I am involving myself in open lab to get to know the lab and prctice hearing sounds [bp, heart, lungs] on the sim manikins. When I did today, I had a tough time distinguishing the different noises. I also work as a CNA and sometimes have a tough time bc of the noise in the tubing. My hand usually fumbles with holding the chestpeice down tight.
I have a Littmann Lightweight.
Any suggestions for holding the scope a certain way to avoid noises from the tubing? Distinguishing the noises?
Of course practice is key, but any other suggestions?
