Lungs are clear to ascultation bilaterally. ('Are' is present tense; I have no idea what the other words mean, but 'be clear to + noun is suspect grammar.)

He has two major hurdles to cross before becoming a doctor: completing his residency and passing the state exam. ('hurdles' are not 'accomplished')
