Physical assessment findings on a patient with pneumonia would include all of the following EXCEPT:

a. bradycardia.
b. whispered pectoriloquy.
c. dull percussion note.
d. increased vocal fremitus.

A
Patients with pneumonia usually have tachycardia, not bradycardia. Whispered pectoriloquy, dull percussion note, and increased vocal fremitus are all the result of alveolar consolidation.
