    1) The document describes procedures for inspecting and auscultating a patient's respiratory system, including observing posture, breathing sounds, and using an incentive spirometer. 2) Inspection involves assessing the chest shape, spinal curvature, and breath sounds by listening with a stethoscope at different locations on the front and back of the patient. 3) Auscultation involves listening to breath sounds while the patient breathes slowly and deeply to note any adventitious sounds. The document also provides instructions for using an incentive spirometer to improve lung function.
