I can't remember who said it on this forum....
someone mentioned about 8-9 months ago, that you should never auscultate breath sounds over any type of clothing...
i think they said something to the effect any breath sound can be mimicked by material between the scope and the patient.
I quickly amended my bad habits. Everyone's top comes of for my shift assessments...
