Study Notes

Physical Examination and Assessment Techniques

Physical examination for pain includes assessing facial expressions, body movements, vitals signs, muscle tension, verbal and nonverbal cues, restlessness, pallor or flushing, sweating, appetite, and sleep changes.
The OPQRSTUV method is used to assess pain, covering onset, palliation/provocation, quality, region/radiation, severity, timing/treatment, understanding, and value.
Respiratory assessment involves identifying bronchial, bronchovesicular, and vesicular breath sounds, resonance, and tympany.
Key respiratory facts include the number of lobes in each lung, the diaphragm's movement during inspiration, and the use of a stethoscope's diaphragm to auscultate the lungs.
When examining for tactile fremitus, it is crucial to palpate the chest symmetrically.
The pulse oximeter measures arterial oxygen saturation, and the normal range of respirations per minute varies with age, with specific characteristics indicating different respiratory conditions.
The angle between the fingernail and nailbed is important for heart disease assessment.
Pulse rate norms vary with age and gender, and assessment includes evaluating rate, rhythm, strength, and bilateral equality.
Blood pressure is measured using a sphygmomanometer, with systolic and diastolic pressure values and pulse pressure being significant indicators.
When auscultating bowel sounds, the diaphragm of the stethoscope is used, and the normal range of liver span in the midclavicular line is 6-12cm.
The abdomen examination involves assessing peristalsis, percussion sounds, organ positions, and genitourinary assessment factors.
Neurological assessment involves evaluating the patient's alertness, orientation, use of open-ended questions with aphasic patients, PERRLA, pupil assessment, and peripheral vascular checks, including CSM (circulation, sensation, movement).
