Q

GI assessment for dehydration

A

percus, ausclate - order is important: visualize first - should be round and soft, not firm, shouldn’t see veins, will sound resonant, ausculate, percus, then belly tickles, then palpate, then go down, urine and bowel samples, x-ray, CT, least invasive to most, then labs.
