48
Q

DURING OR ON-GOING ASSESSMENT

A

A

POSITIONING

50
Q

TYPES OF POSITIONS

A

1.standing position
2.Supine Position

51
Q

TECHNIQUES

A

52
Q

Critical viewing of the patient by using the eyes to assess the general appearance of the
client and the condition of each body part.
 The most difficult technique to master because it needs concentrated watching (clinical
and critical viewing).
 Should be done thoroughly and systematically
 Good lighting and exposure is essential
 Each body area is inspected for size, shape, color, position, symmetry and presence of
abnormalities.
 Inspection may also include the use of hearing and sense of smell. There are some
abnormalities that may not be recognized by other means.

A

INSPECTION

53
Q

WHAT TO INSPECTS

A

A

PALPATION

55
Q

considerations in doing palpation:

patient’s muscles, distorting assessment findings)

 inform the patient when, where and how the touch will occur (patient is
aware what to expect)
 if pain is experienced during palpation, immediately discontinue
palpation

56
Q

Tools in palpation

A

examiner’s hand

 Dorsum – most sensitive to temperature changes

presence of fluid, size and consistency of mass)

57
Q

striking of a body surface, usually with the tip of the finger to elicit sound or vibration
