Physical examination
It is the process of examining the patients bodyto determine the presence or absence ofphysical problems
The goal of the physical examination is to obtainvalid information concerning the health of the
patient
The examiner must be able to identify, analyze,and synthesize the accumulated information into
a comprehensive assessment

Important aspects of physical
examination---physician
Wash your hands, preferably while the
patient is watching
Washing with soap and water is an
effective way to reduce thetransmission of disease

Important aspects of physical
examinationWhere is the bed placed?
When possible, the examining table/bed besituated so that the examiner has access toboth sides of the patient
An ideal arrangement is to have the tablelocated in the center of the examining room

Important aspects of physical
examinationThe examiner should continue speaking tothe patient
Showing care to his disease and answer topatients questions
It can not only release patients nervousness,but also help to establish the goodphysician-patient relationship

Precaution to take
The use of gloves should provide adequateprotection when performing the physical
examination or when handling blood-soiled orbody fluid-soiled sheets or clothing
Gloves should be worn when examining anyindividual with exudative lesions or weepingdermatitis
8/3/2019 1. Inspection
21/79
Precaution to take
Hands or other contaminated skin surfaces shouldbe washed thoroughly and immediately itaccidentally soiled with blood or other body fluids
All sharp items, such as needle, must be handledwith extraordinary care to prevent injuries
A patient may be in isolation or on specialprecautions if he/she is suffering from a contagiousdisease

Auscultation
Smelling
8/3/2019 1. Inspection
23/79
Physical Examination TechniquesInspection = observation of the client (may at times include useof penlight, otoscope, and/or ophthalmoscope)Palpation = use of touch to assess client Use light pressure first to assess body surface Next use deep palpation to assess underlying structures
Assess areas of pain/tenderness/discomfort lastPercussion= tapping fingers on the clients skin using shortstrokes to assess underlying structures to determinesize/density/locationAuscultation = use of hearing to assess client

WAIST CIRCUMFERENCE
Waist circumference (distance around the waist)is a common measure used to check for fat heldaround the stomach. Having extra body fataround the stomachmore than 35 in (89 cm)
for women and more than 40 in (102 cm) formenincreases your risk of heart disease anddiabetes.
How to measure waist circumference: Place a
tape measure around your body at the top ofyour hipbone. This is usually at the level of yourbelly button, as shown in the picture above.
