pericardial effusion
The nipple is located in the 4th intercostal space.
locate collar bone, right below is the first intercostal space then the second rib folows by second intercostal etc.
The pulmonary valve is best heard in the second left intercostal space along the left sternal border. This location is known as the pulmonic area.
The anatomical structure located directly below the 7th rib is the 7th intercostal space. The intercostal spaces are the spaces between adjacent ribs, with each space being numbered according to the rib above it. In this case, the 7th intercostal space is located below the 7th rib and above the 8th rib.
from what I've read its the following mid clavicular = 5-7 mid axillary = 7-9 paravetebral = 9-11 i believe that it is the second in the midclavicular and either 6,7, or 8 in he midaxillary
between the second and third ribs
The apex
The second intercostal space is located approximately 2 inches below the clavicle. This space is between the second and third ribs, along the side of the chest.
The heart valves can be approximated on the chest surface using specific auscultation points. The aortic valve is located in the second intercostal space at the right sternal border, the pulmonary valve is found in the second intercostal space at the left sternal border, the tricuspid valve is located at the fourth intercostal space near the left sternal border, and the mitral valve is situated at the fifth intercostal space in the midclavicular line on the left side. These locations help healthcare providers listen for heart sounds and assess valve function.

The nipple is located in the 4th intercostal space.
To assess the heart valves using a stethoscope at the five precordial landmarks, you would place it at the following locations: the aortic valve is best heard at the right second intercostal space, the pulmonic valve at the left second intercostal space, the tricuspid valve at the left fourth intercostal space near the sternum, the mitral valve at the left fifth intercostal space in the midclavicular line, and the Erb's point (for additional heart sounds) at the left third intercostal space. These placements correspond to the anatomical positions of the valves and facilitate optimal auscultation.

In the 6th intercostal space, important structures found include the internal mammary artery and vein, and the intercostal muscles and nerves. Additionally, in the left 6th intercostal space, the cardiac apex is located.
5th intercostal space at the midclavicular line
In the second intercostal space, right to the sternum.
The pulmonary valve is best heard in the second left intercostal space along the left sternal border. This location is known as the pulmonic area.
