Discussion:

The use of a stethoscope is basic to every physician, nurse and allied health professional. Learning heart sounds is a difficult and time-consuming task. This CD-ROM simplifies the learning experience.  By following the sequence of the sounds on the menu, the student will be guided through a step-by-step learning process.
Many of the sounds have the ability to be displayed as mild, moderate and severe examples.
