Answer 2

2.  Answer is B.  Hyperresonance is not consistent with a patient with a right lower lobe pneumonia.  It is expected in areas of hyperareation such as a pneumothorax.  Tactile fremitus, rales, and A to E egophony would be consistent with a patient with a right lower lobe pneumonia.  Dullness to percussion in the right lower lobe would be the expected physical finding on a patient with a right  lower lobe pneumonia.
