Verified step by step guidance

Begin by understanding the term 'auscultation'. Auscultation is a clinical technique used by healthcare professionals to listen to the internal sounds of the body, typically using a stethoscope.

Identify the primary tool used in auscultation. The stethoscope is the instrument that amplifies the sounds within the body, such as heartbeats, lung sounds, and bowel sounds.

Differentiate auscultation from other physical examination techniques. Unlike palpation, which involves feeling the texture and size of organs, auscultation focuses solely on listening to sounds.

Consider the purpose of auscultation. It is used to assess the function of various organs, such as the heart and lungs, by detecting abnormal sounds that may indicate medical conditions.

Review the options provided in the problem. The correct description of auscultation is 'Listening to the sounds of the body using a stethoscope', as it directly relates to the definition and purpose of the technique.
