Auscultation in 3 points comparing the two sides

That is right. You have to ausculate in at least 3 points and always in both sides so as to be able to compare sides to each other. You listen for any reduced breathe sounds, or added sounds such as crackles, wheezes or rhonchi.

You can then continue with auscultating on back.

How will you ausculate?
