a low pitched sound created by blood moving through a narrowed artery, heard best with the bell of the stethoscope, is called. a murmur stenosis a bruit regurgitation question 29 (mandatory) (2 points) dizziness is a nonspecific term used by patients encompassing several disorders that clinicians must carefully sort out. true false

Explanation:

• For the first question:
• A murmur is an abnormal heart sound (not specifically related to blood flow through a narrowed artery in the context of the description).
• Stenosis is the narrowing of a passage (like an artery) itself, not the sound.
• Regurgitation is the backward flow of blood (e.g., in heart valves).
• A bruit is a vascular sound (a low - pitched sound) produced by turbulent blood flow through a narrowed artery, and it is best heard with the bell of the stethoscope.
• For the second question:
• Dizziness is indeed a nonspecific term. It can be caused by various factors such as inner ear problems (vertigo), low blood pressure, anemia, etc. Clinicians need to do a detailed assessment (history, physical examination, and sometimes tests) to determine the underlying cause.

Answer:

• First question: C. a bruit
• Second question: True
