The nurse is auscultating for extraneous heart sounds (Third heart sound S3, Fourth heart sound S4)Some of the defects that accurate auscultation the nurse can detect are Mitral Regurgitation and Pericardial Rub.
Answer - Mitral Regurgitation and Pericardial Rub.
The third heart sound is S3 or also known as ventricular gallop, Its starts just after S2 (at early diastole). It is produced during left ventricular filling.
It commonly occurs when the left ventricle is overly compliant, it is a sign of systolic heart failure.
The fourth heart sound is called S4, also known as an Arterial gallop, this sound is heard just before S1.
S4 is commonly heard in forceful blood flow to the ventricle.
