Introduction to Physical Examination teaches a systematic approach for examining the adult. This approach contributes to a smooth, flowing process that minimizes the number of times the patient must change positions, conserves the patient's energy, and gathers information that is pertinent to the patient's status.

The focus of Introduction to Physical Examination is on various body systems. Introduction to Physical Examination sections include:

  • Prepararing for the examination
  • Overview of the general sequence of the examination
  • Examination:
    • Head, eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and neck
    • Upper extremeties, chest, breast, and abdomen
    • Inguinal area, feet and legs, sensory functions, and coordination
    • Male examination, and rectum/pelvis
  • After the examination

Objectives

  • Define terminology associated with physical examination.
  • Identify techniques that are used during physical examination.
