A nurse’s stethoscope is a medical instrument used by nurses and other healthcare professionals to listen to internal body sounds such as heartbeats, lung sounds, and bowel sounds. It typically consists of earpieces, a flexible tubing, and a chest piece with a diaphragm and bell for detecting various frequencies of sound. Nurse stethoscopes are lightweight and durable, designed for everyday use in hospitals, clinics, and patient care settings.
They are essential tools for performing physical examinations, monitoring vital signs, and assessing patients’ overall health. The simplicity and effectiveness of these stethoscopes make them ideal for routine nursing assessments.
