PCM Review (Test 1) Flashcards
Body Position and Patient Skills
- Right Lateral Renumber: Patient lying on RIGHT SIDE (left side up)
ABDOMINAL EXAM:
1) INSPECTION:
- LOOK at your Patient
- Are they Responsive? Are they Agitated? Do they look Sick?
2) AUSCULTATION (Use Stethoscope to Identify Sounds):
- Heart, Lungs, Abdomen (If Indicated), Vessels (Renal, Abdominal, Carotids, Etc [If Indicated])
- Lungs: Deep Breath IN and OUT through Mouth at each Lung Lobe Location
3) PERCUSSION (Tap with 3rd Finer over Last Joint):
- DULL (Fluid) vs FLAT (Solid) vs TYMPANIC (Air)
4) PALPATATION
**RESPIRATION has the AUSCULTATION LAST!!!!!!!!
**ALWAYS CHECK BILATERALLY- You don’t want to miss something like a diminished Pulse Pressure on One side and find out later that was a CRUCIAL aspect of the DIFFERENTIAL!
Osteopathic Structural Exam
1) Body = UNIT
2) Body = Self- Regulatory Mechanisms
3) Structure and Function are RELATED
4) Using 1 through 3 —> RATIONAL THERAPY
5) OSE uses Musculoskeletal Exam even in NOT CHIEF COMPLAINT
***Use LAY TERMS so that you patient feel a part of the CONVERSATION because they are YOUR BEST TOOLS!!!!
Opthalmoscope
EYES
- Hand on Patient: Use Your RIGHT eye to examine patients RIGHT Eye —–> Start LATERALLY —> Move MEDIALLY —–> RED REFLEX!!!!!!!!
- DIRECT PUPIL LIGHT REFLEX: That pupil CONSTRICTS vs CONSENSUAL (Light in Eye 1 —> Constriction of Eye 2)
Otoscope
EARS
- Adults: Up, Out, and AWAY
- CONE of LIGHT and TYMPANIC MEMBRANE
Snellen Chart
- Visual ACUITY TESTED: Hold at about 14 Inches from EYES
- Normal 20/20
- 20/40 means that the test subject sees at 20 feel what fNormal person sees at 40 Feet!
Oropharynx
- Light + “AHHHHHH” —-> Examine Mucosa, Pharynx, Uvula, Tonsils, Etc
BP Cuff (Spygmomanometer)
- Choose what fits the PATIENT —> Wrap Cuff over BRACHIAL ARTERY—-> Fill —> Listen
- 1st Sound Heard: 1st Korotkoff Sound (Systole)
- 2nd Sound: Last Korotkoff Sound (Diastole)
Tuning Fork
HEARING
- Air Conduction > Bone Conduction
- AC: In from of EAM
- BC: Bone area BEHIND EAR
Vibratory Sense:
- On the KNEE CAP and Compare Bilaterally
Reflex Hammer
DEEP TENDON REFLEX
- Make Sure the Patient is Relaxed
- Graded from 0 to 4 (2/4 is NORMAL)
- 3/4: HYPER and 0,1: HYPO
Upper Extremity:
- C5: Biceps, Strike THUMB
- C6: Brachioradialis, Strike LIGAMENT
- C7: Triceps, Strike LIGAMENT
Lower Extremity:
- L4: Patella, Strike TENDON
- S1: Achilles, Strike TENDON
Stethoscope
1) Bell= Bruits (LOW Pitched)!!!!!!!!!!!
2) Diaphragm= Heart/ Lungs (HIGH Pitched)!!!!
***NEVER Listen OVER CLOTHES!!!!!
Standards (CDC)
CDC:
- Prevent SPREAD of Disease
- CLEAN GLOVES
- WASH hands before AND AFTER WEARING GLOVES!!!
Anatomic Position
- When diagnosing, be able to determine where things are at (Medial, Lateral) you need to Know where it should be!!!!!
- Ex: Is the Ulna MEDIAL or LATERAL to the Radius?
* * Ulna is MEDIAL
Be familiar with TERMS, they will be Involved in EVERYTHING from here on out!!!
- Medial/ Lateral
- Deep/ Superficial
- Proximal/ Distal
- Ipsilateral (Same Side)/ Contralateral (Opposite Side)
- Anterior/ Posterior (Ventral/ Dorsal)
- Superior/ Inferior (Cephalic/ Caudad)
- Prone/ Supine
Coronal/ Frontal Plane
- Divides the Body into ANTERIOR and POSTERIOR (Face or FRON versus Back of the Head)
- Motion: SIDE BENDING!!!!
- Anterior/ Posterior AXIS!!!!
Sagittal
- Divides the Body into RIGHT and LEFT
- Motion: Forward/ Backward Bending aka FLEXION/ EXTENSION (Touch Your Toes)
- Right/ Left AXIS!!!!!
Transverse
- Divides the Body into SUPERIOR and INFERIOR (Upper versus Lower)
- Motion: ROTATION
- LONGITUDINAL (Superior/ Inferior) AXIS!!!!!!
Axis
- Imaginary Line around which Motion Occurs
- PERPENDICULAR to the PLANE!!!!
Gravitational Line
1) Head: External Auditory Canal
2) Arms: lateral Head of the Humerus
3) Spine: 3rd Lumbar Vertebrae
4) Sacrum: Anterior 1/3 of the Sacrum

- SAGITTAL PLANE!!!!!
Pectus Excavatum
- Funnel Chest. Abnormal DEPRESSIOn
- “Excavate” —> “Dig a Hole”
Pectus Carinatum
- PIGEON CHEST
Review the Osteopathic Approach
- Landmarks
- If one ASIS is HIGHER than the Other, what place is the DYSFUNCTION in???
CERVICAL and LUMBAR= Lordosis!!!!!!
THORACIC and SACRUM = Kyphosis!!!!!!!
Dubins Clinical Correlation
- If a patient comes in with a headache, you would ask them about Vision Problems because the Optic Nerve can be involved with Cranial Problems
Interview Basics I
O- Onset
L- Location
D- Duration
C- Characteristics A- Alleviating Factors A- Aggravating Factors A- Associated Symptoms R- Radiation T- Timing S- Severity
***Be sure to ask OPEN ENDED QUESTIONS!!!!!!!
Soap Note
Subjective: Something you get from talking to them
- CC
- HPI
- PMH
- PSH
- Meds
- SH
- Alls
- FH
Objective: Something you get from the Physical Exam
- Vital Signs
- Heart
- Lungs
- OSE
Assessment: Relating it to a Diagnosis
- Restatement of the Chief Complaint followed by 3 Differential Diagnosis
Plan: What will you do for them
- OMT
- Meds
- Diagnostic (EKG, Radiology)

- Follow up
Address Emotions with NURS
N: NAME the Patient’s Expressed EMOTION
U: Make an UNDERSTANDING Statement
R: RESPECT the Patient (Praise them, acknowledge Plight)
S: Offer SUPPORT
**Ask them why they’re agitated, DO NOT ASSUME!!!!!!!
Discuss the rationale behind and Demonstrate ability to obtain a Substance use History with attention to the CAGE Questions
ALCOHOL:
- DO they Consume it? What form?
- A response of “LESS THAN 24 HOURS AGO” to this last question has a POSITIVE PREDICTIVE vale of 68% and a NEGATIVE PREDICTIVE Value of 98% for ALCOHOL ABUSE!!!!!!!!!
Consider “CAGE”ing them: Have you ever….
1) Felt the need to CUT BACK on your Drinking?
2) Felt ANNOYED by criticism of your Drinking?
3) Had GUILTY feeling about your Drinking?
4) Take a morning EYE OPENER?
*** If 2 OR MORE of these are YES—–> 90% SENSITIVITY and SPECIFICITY for ALCOHOL DEPENDENCE!!!!!!!!!!!
NIAA Safe Drinking Limits:
1) Men: 14 or fewer drinks per week, no more than 4 drinks per Day
2) Women and those above 65: 7 drinks per week, or more than 3 in a day!
Tobacco
- What form
- Pack Years: (Years Smoking) x (Packs/day)
Street Drugs
- What they use?

Discuss the Rationale behind and demonstrate ability to screen for risk of Domestic Violence and other issues of Personal Safety
- If you suspect DOMESTIC VIOLENCE a good opening question: “Have you ever been Hit, Slapped, Kicked, or Otherwise hurt physically by someone? Yes? ——> Ask the SAFE Questions!!!!!!

What is Biomechanics
- The Study and Function of Biological Systems by looking at the STATICS, DYNAMICS, and MECHANICS of MATERIALS (What they’re like when still, then in motion, how they work together)
We need Biomechanics to Understand Human Physical Performance
- How motions are PERFORMED
- How we CONTROL MOTION
- How forces (Internal and External) affect the human body and tissues
Leonard Da Vinci
- First to STUDY in the context of MECHANICS
- Analyze MUSCLE FORCES as acting along point son attachment and Joint Function
