A member asked:
When listening to the right lung with a stethescope is it normal to place it directly on to the nipple?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lung Evaluations: Yes actually. It is also common to lift the breast away from the chest and to listen underneath the breast to hear the right middle lobe breath sounds.
