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.
