17
Q

What are the 2 types of triangles in the neck?

A

anterior and posterior

18
Q

What is the landmark associated with the triangles of the neck?

A

sternocleidomastoid

19
Q

what are the 4 way of examining the neck?

A

Observation (mainly this)
Palpation (mainly this)
Auscultation
(Percussion)

20
Q

What is the OBSERVATION during neck examination?

A

Scars → if they’ve had glands removed etc
Obvious lumps/deformity
Use of accessory muscles → help with breathing

21
Q

What is the PALPATION during neck examination?

A

Stand behind the patient, patient needs to be relaxed and not tensed
Start with submental → submandibular → retromandibular → parotid → sternomastoid → sternal notch → laterally to supraclavicular nodes → trapezius → back to posterior triangle in the occipital lymph nodes

22
Q

What things do you look for describing lumps?

A

Site: where is it? Where in the triangle?
Size: how big is it?
Surface: smooth/uneven?
Consistency: soft, hard, rubbery, bony hard?
Mobility: Attached to deep structures or skin? Mobile is reassuring but if attached then worrying.
Overlying skin: erythema, ulceration?
Pulsatile: is it an artery?

23
