When assessing for fluid collection in the lungs during auscultation, you should listen for abnormal lung sounds such as crackles or rales, which may indicate the presence of fluid. Pay attention to the lower lung fields, as fluid typically accumulates in these areas. Additionally, compare sounds bilaterally to identify any asymmetry that may suggest localized fluid accumulation. It's also important to assess for any accompanying signs or symptoms, such as decreased breath sounds or dullness on percussion.
