The nurse is completing a cardiac assessment on a client. The pulmonic valve would best be assessed by auscultating at the:

A. External rotation of the hip involves rotating the thigh outward away from the midline of the body. This movement occurs in the hip joint. External rotation is a component of hip range of motion.

B. Extension of the hip involves moving the thigh backward, straightening the leg from a flexed position. This movement also occurs in the hip joint. Extension is part of the hip's range of motion.

C. Adduction of the hip involves moving the thigh toward or across the midline of the body. It brings the leg closer to the midline. Adduction is another movement that is part of the hip's range of motion.

E. Flexion of the hip involves bringing the thigh toward the abdomen or bending the leg. It is a movement where the angle between the thigh and the abdomen decreases. Flexion is a fundamental movement of the hip joint.

D. Supination is a movement primarily associated with the forearm and hand, involving turning the palm upward or facing forward. It is not a movement of the hip joint. Supination is not correct in the context of hip range of motion.

D. These effects are not the primary intended outcomes of the medication, but are known possible reactions that can occur in addition to the main therapeutic effect.

A. Synergistic effects refer to the combined action of two or more substances or medications that results in an effect greater than the sum of their individual effects.

B. Adverse effects are unintended and potentially harmful effects of a medication, even when the medication is used at therapeutic doses and in the correct manner.

C. Therapeutic effects are the desired and beneficial effects of a medication that contribute to treating or managing a medical condition. These effects are intended and typically guide the prescribing and administration of medications.
