H&P PE Flashcards
POS Rhinne AC > BC
normal or sensorineural hearing loss with impaired air and bone conduction
NEG Rhnne BC > AC
conductive hearing loss
Weber heard to one side
lateralization
Weber heard to affect side
conductive hearing loss
Weber heard to unaffected side
sensorineural loss
Inspection of Neck
- symmetry 2. lesions 3. masses 4. tracheal position 5. JVD
What do you do first in neck exam
auscultation prior to palpation of carotids and thyroid for bruits
Palpation of cervical lymph nodes
- anterior auricular 2. posterior auricular 3. submental 4. submandibular 5. posterior cervical chain 6. anterior cervical chain 7. supraclavicular 8. infraclavicular
Pt. supine, flex neck fwd - + = hips flex
brudzinski
Flex at hip and knee extend knee - pain
kernig
Order of Respiratory Exam
- inspection 2. palpation 3. percussion 4. auscultation
Sound transmitted louder at area of consolidation
bronchophony
e –> a at area of consolidation
egophony
whispered words louder at area of consolidation
whispered pectoriloquy
Pneumonia finding
inc. tactile fremitus; dec. resonance on percussion
Pneumothorax finding
dec. tactile remitus; inc. resonace on percussion
Pleural effusion finding
dec. tactile remitus & resonace on percussion
S1
closure of AV valves, marks onset of systole
S2
closure of semilunar valves (aortic, pulmonic)
Ejection click–early systole
diseased aortic valve (right after S1)
Opening snap–early diastole
mitral disease (mitral valve opening)
S3
rapid deceleration of blood; decreased compliance in adults (immediately after S2)
S4
atrial kick against decreased compliance (immediately befor S1)
crescendo/decresendo murmur
aortic stenosis
plateau murmur
mitral regurg, tricuspid regurg, VSD
decrescendo murmur
aortic regurg
radiation of murmur to neck (carotids)
aortic stenosis
radiation of murmur to axilla
mitral regurg
Grade 1 murmur
very faint, possibly not heard in all positions
Grade 2 murmur
quiet, but heard immediately after placing the stethoscope on the chest
Grade 3 murmur
moderately loud
Grade 4 murmur
loud, with palpable thrill
Grade 5 murmur
very loud, with thrill may be heard when stethoscope is partly off chest
Grade 6 murmur
very loud, with thrill; may be heard with stethoscope entirely off chest
Lateral decubitus increases ability to hear
mitral stenosis, S3, S4
Sitting, leaning fwd, breathe out and hold exaggerates
Aortic murmur
Standing, squatting, valsalva exaggerates
mitral valve prolapse, aortic stenosis
Aortic heard
2nd R ICS along sternal border
Pulmonic heard
2nd L ICS along sternal border
Tricuspid heard
4th/5th ICS along sternal border
Mitral heard
4th/5th ICS MCL
Allen Test
tests compentency of radial and ulnar arteries - done prior to ABG; ulnar first
