Final answer:

Breath sounds and reflexes would be documented under the chest/lungs section of the physical exam.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the chest/lungs section of the physical exam, the following findings would be documented:

  1. Breath sounds: The healthcare provider uses a stethoscope to listen to the sounds made by the lungs during breathing. Crackling sounds, wheezing, or decreased breath sounds could indicate abnormalities.
  2. Reflexes: While reflexes are not typically part of the chest/lungs examination, they are relevant to other areas of the physical exam, such as checking neurological function.
