A condition that makes posterior chest and lung examination difficult is thoracic:
A) kyphoscoliosis.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kyphoscoliosis is a curvature of the spine that can make it difficult to perform posterior chest and lung examinations due to limited mobility and poor chest expansion. Spondylosis and ankylosis refer to the degenerative changes and fusion of the spine, respectively, but they do not typically affect chest examination. Lordosis is an inward curvature of the spine that primarily affects the lower back, so it is also not likely to affect posterior chest examination.
