What are the parts of the pain and tenderness section?
Observation Percussion, Palpation, Provocation Visual Analog Type Scale Audio Confirmation Pain Questionnaires
What can you document by personal observation what the patient exhibits during the course of the examination?
Observation
For percussion, palpation, or provocation you should always ask the patient what?
To let you know if any of this causes them pain
With the visual analog type scale the patient is asked to grade pain on a scale of?
0-10
Like the visual analog scale, the patient is asked to verbally grade their pain from 0-10. This is known as?
Audio Confirmation
To observe for asymmetry or misalignment, you can observe the patient’s?
Posture or Analyze Gait
