1) Inspect the stethoscope for quality and damage. The best stethoscopes have a tube for each ear piece rather than a single tube. Also, the best tubing is thick, short, and relatively stiff, with a small bore. Also, make sure that tubing is free of leaks.
2) find relatively quit area to ensure that the body sounds are not overpowered
by backround nois.......
3) Insert each of the two ear pieces into your ears. Be sure that the ear pieces fit snugly and have a good seal to keep out ambient noise. The earpieces can also be tilted slightly forward on some stethoscopes to ensure a better fit
4) Use the stethoscope on bare skin to avoid picking up the sound of rustling fabric and wet the skin with warm water to avoid sound pollution from the small hairs on the skin.
make sure that u are listening to the stethoscope & not the bell, this is done by plugging the 2 ends in your ears & tapping on the diaphragm ( the flat end ,on the other side ) if u hear a loud noise in your ear, it means u have placed the instrument correctly. Else , turn it 180 degree & check again.

To perform auscultation, place a stethoscope on the skin to listen to sounds produced by the body, such as the heart, lungs, or intestines. Make sure the area is quiet, and be sure to listen for the specific sounds associated with each body system. Adjust the pressure of the stethoscope as needed to clearly hear the sounds.
Normally you put the stethoscope in the fifth intercostal space, in the mid clavicle line. Normally you can see the apical impulse. Some times it is shifted to wards lefts side. In thick and obese patients you locate the area, where the heart sound in most prominent in the above stated area. The interpretation of the auscultation may be difficult in such patients.
Place a stethoscope on your chest where you can feel the heart beat and you will hear it.
Take a stethoscope and place it on your heart.
Brachial artery
Place the stethoscope over the heart (left side of the chest) and count the heart beat for a full minute.
In medicine, one's pulse represents the tactile arterial palpation of the heartbeat by trained fingertips. The pulse may be palpated in any place that allows an artery to be compressed against a bone, such as at the neck (carotid artery), at the wrist (radial artery), behind theknee (popliteal artery), on the inside of the elbow (brachial artery), and near the ankle joint(posterior tibial artery). The pulse can also be measured by listening to the heart beat directly (auscultation), traditionally using a stethoscope.
try it cook it properly in the 1st place
In the forth intercostal space, right to the sternum, probably.
You don't- unless you are a judge. A judge will order a medical examination, or take note of an examination that has already taken place. After the examination the judge holds a hearing, examines evidence, and makes a declaration.
A well organised place where work is done properly.
