Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cystic fibrosis often presents with breath sounds that reveal crackles and rhonchi due to mucus accumulation in the airways, and a hyperresonant percussion note due to air trapping and lung overinflation, not tracheal deviation or a dull percussion note which are more indicative of other conditions.
