There is a brief verbal description before each sound is presented. Normal heart and lung sounds are included, as well as the more common abnormal sounds encountered in clinical practice. You can test your skills on the unidentified sounds at the end of the CD, for which an answer key is included. Laboratory tests are an indispensable part of the array of clinical tools. It’s essential that all health care professionals understand why specific tests have been ordered and what the results might implicate.
