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

Allen Test
tests compentency of radial and ulnar arteries - done prior to ABG; ulnar first
Allen Test normal
pinks in 3 - 5 seconds
Order of Abdominal Exam
inspection, AUSCULTATION, palpation (light to deep), percussion
Rovsing sign
pain in RLQ with LLQ pressure = appendicitis
Psoas sign
E hip making psoas muscle contract = appendicitis
Obturator sign
F hip/knee, IR = appendicitis
Murphy’s sign
push up under RCM, have patient take deep breath in, + = suddently halting breath
