For a patient who has inhaled carbon monoxide, what would their lungs sounds be? Would it be clear bilaterally?

if you can't figure out if CO would cause a change in lung sounds, I'm afraid for your psychopathology instructor.

It's well known that CO, when mixed into a aqueous solution as found in the alveoli, forms 1,3,5-dimethy-3-ethyl baadsiht. In this form it causes pulmonary scrotalgia. Based on that, you should be able to figure out what the lung sounds would be.

Do you perhaps mean pathophysiology instructor?

they should should carbon monoxidey.

if they don't, than the patient has an underlying condition that you haven't identified.

Your Siri is smart. All mine ever does is insert "duck" into all of my texts...

Yours does that too!? [emoji23]

Scratch the clear bilaterally part that was a brain fart. In other news, I just found out I passed my nremt-b on the first try!
But alas, what will you do if your first patient presents in CO poisoning? Or are they just ill for various other reasons??o_O

Inquiring minds would like to know.
