The nurse places the stethoscope in the abdomen in the midclavicular line on the either side.
Explanation:
- The renal artery can be blocked due to the presence of thrombus in the artery as a result of this the perfusion of the important kidney gets reduced.
- The renal artery thrombus results in abnormal sounds like whistling and murmer in the artery.
- After assessing the cardiac area then the nurse auscultates the abdomen and during the auscultation the renal artery is felt.
