A 65-year-old man comes to the emergency department because of a 1-day history of shortness of breath. He has hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus. There is no history of heart disease. Current medications include hydrochlorothiazide, ramipril, and metformin. He does not smoke. His temperature is 37°C (98.6°F), pulse is 110/min, respirations are 28/min, and blood pressure is 152/92 mm Hg. Pulse oximetry on room air shows an oxygen saturation of 90%. Cardiac examination shows an S, A grade 2/6 systolic murmur is heard over the lower left sternal border radiating to the axilla. The point of maximal impulse is diffuse and most prominent in the axillary line. Which of the following findings is most likely on pulmonary auscultation? (A) Crackles B) Egophony (C) Unilateral decreased breath sounds D) Wheezing E) Whispered pectoriloquy

A 46-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus has had fever and chest pain for 2 days. Her temperature is 38.3°C (100.9°F), pulse is 118/min, and blood pressure is 96/68 mm Hg. Heart sounds are distant. An ECG shows low voltage. Which of the following additional findings is most likely in this patient? A) Bilateral bruit over the renal arteries at the costovertebral angles B) Greater than 10 mm Hg decrease in systolic blood pressure on inspiration C) Hemestreis and decreased breath sounds in the area of the right lower lobe of the lung D) Low-pitched, rumbling diastolic murmur heard best at the apex E) Visible rhythmic pulsations of the abdominal aorta
