While auscultating heart sounds, asking the client to turn onto a left lying position would help the nurse assess the presence of which of the following?

Aortic murmurs

Atrial repolarization

The first heart sound

Mitral stenosis

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

A. Aortic murmurs: These are best assessed with the client in an upright or slightly leaning forward position, not specifically the left lateral position.

B. Atrial repolarization: This is not directly assessed by body position; it is part of the ECG assessment.

C. The first heart sound: The first heart sound (S1) is heard throughout the auscultation process and is not specifically enhanced by a left lateral position.

D. Mitral stenosis: The left lateral position allows better auscultation of the mitral area, where mitral stenosis murmurs are best heard.
