nspection technique (3):
● FIRST technique with general survey
● General survey:
○ Observing mobility / gait, physical appearance, general
wellness/health, mood & behavior (facial expressions,
interactions), mental status (observing patient’s body
language and response when asking questions)
● Do it the SAME WAY every time → less likely to forget something
● Do not rush it, especially with anxious patients
○ Make sure the patient is comfortable
○ Temperature in the room is suitable for the patient
● Make sure that you have everything that you need → so
that the patient has confidence in you
● Know normal vs abnormal when surveying appearance & symmetry
○ Compare ANYTHING that has a pair
○ Eyes- level, equal, is there eyelid drooping?
○ Smile- is there a droop?
○ Always compare the two sides to ensure that there is
no abnormality between the two sides

● Listen for natural sounds
○ Abnormal sounds: wheezing, labored breathing, crepitus during ROM
● Detect abnormal odors:
○ CDIFF, alcohol on a patient, acetone / sugary breath
● Try not to assume anything ! → use critical thinking!
○ Ex: someone with low blood sugar or issues with hypoxia can appear
intoxicated
● Know your normal values:
○ Blood pressure, HR, RR, O2 sats, temperature
○ For each age levels
■ Infants: must faster RR than elderly
Percussion technique (3)
● Types:
○ Direct percussion- tapping body with fingertips of dominant hand
■ For a small infant → direct percussion on the chest
■ Adult → on the sinuses on the face

○ Blunt percussion- place palm of nondominant hand flat
against the surface and strike it with closed-fist dominant
hand
■ Used to assess the kidneys → assessing for pain /
tenderness
(UTI)
○ Indirect percussion- most commonly used
■ Plexor = hammer or tapping finger
■ Pleximeter = device or surface that accepts the tap
● Sounds:
○ Intensity of amplitude: softness or loudness
○ Pitch or frequency: high or low (vibrations per second)
○ Duration: length of time
○ Quality: recognizable overtones or drumlike sounds
● Tympany- sound heard over stomach or intestines
○ Loud, high-pitched, drum-like tone
● Resonance- normal sound heard over lungs
○ Loud, low-pitched, hollow tone
● Hyperresonance- air trapped in
lungs
○ Abnormally loud, low tone of longer duration than resonance
■ COPD, trauma or lung collapse

● Dullness- over solid body organs
(liver)
○ High-pitched tone, soft and short
● Flatness- over solid tissue, muscle, or bone
○ High-pitched tone, very soft & shorter than dullness
■ Ex: ribs
Skin assessment (5)
● Life span considerations:
○ Infants and children
■ Newborn skin → covered with vernix caseosa
■ Infants have thin, soft, skin and free of hair
■ Milia and stork bites- common, harmless markings in newborns
■ Mongolian spots- gray, blue or purple spots in sacral and
buttocks area
● Fade by age 3
● Try not to confuse it with possibility of
abuse → ask the parent “is this something
that has been here since birth?”
■ Poor temperature regulation → do not secrete from
glands

○ Pregnant female

nipples, vulva, perianal area

abdomen
● Resolve itself after pregnancy

■ Sebum production decreases → causes dryness
● More prone to skin breakdown
■ Perspiration / sweating decreases
■ Decrease in melanin production → result in gray hair
■ Nails become thicker and more brittle due to
decreased amount of circulation
■ Hair thins because of decrease of hair follicles
■ Liver spots, hyperpigmented freckles, increased amount of skin
tags
● Psychosocial considerations:
○ Stressed induced illness:
■ Trichotillomania- hair twisting & pulling
■ Nail biting
■ Visible skin disorders in relation to self-esteem / body image
● Cultural and environmental considerations:
○ Socioeconomic status
■ Not able to go to the doctor because of finances
○ Home environment
■ Are they homeless? → if so, could be more likely
to develop skin cancer due to outside exposure
○ Means of employment
■ If they work outside → important to know

in patients with dark skin
○ Dry skin does not necessarily indicate dehydration
○ Skin response to stressors differ from person to person
■ Autoimmune disorders
○ Differences in hair color and texture vary from different cultural groups

reddened cuticles causing infection
○ Table 13.2 (variations) 31:28
● Focused interview- questions related to:
○ Notice any smells / foul odors

○ Sweating → fever, being in the sun too long, excessive sweating
○ Skin:

patients
● Lifespan considerations:
○ Infants and children:
■ Did the mother have a vaginal infection?
■ Was the child full term or premature? If premature, how early?
● Could have been over oxygenated in NICU
causing visual problems
○ Pregnant female:
■ Any changes in vision?
■ Reassure mother that it is temporary → will return by 6
months
○ Older adult:
■ Do you have any dryness?
● If the individual OVER USES eye drops →
the lacrimal glands are less likely to
continue to produce tears
■ Any problems with night vision? → may affect their daily
living
○ Internal environment:

○ Inspection:
■ What does the sclera look like?
● Is it a normal white color?
● Is there jaundice? → can indicate liver problems
■ Looking for redness, drainage
○ Tests:
■ Snellen Tests (distance)- tests for visual acuity
● Tests for cranial nerve II
● Stand 20 feet away and cover one eye
○ Read the smallest line they can possibly read
○ If patient reads half or more of the
line wrong → move up to the next
highest level

with normal vision could see at 40 feet
■ Jaeger / Rosenbaum- near vision
● 12-14 inches away
■ Confrontation test- peripheral vision
● Your eye AND the patient eye are covered on the
opposite sides (same eye when facing each other)
● Something is coming into view → if the
patient sees it at the same time that you do,
they have normal vision
■ Cardinal fields of gaze- extraocular muscles
● Cranial nerves 3, 4, 6
● Assessing for any deviation in vision
■ Cover / uncover:
● Normal = no deviation
● Could have a slight deviation → but will not
see it until you cover / uncover the eye
■ PERRLA- pupils are equal, round, and reactive
to light and accommodation
● Pupil size are equal: between 3 and 6
● Reactive to light: constriction when light is shined at them
● Accommodation: eyes converge and pupils
constrict when looking at something close up

■ Consensual constriction - pupil constricts when a light is shone in
the eye
○ Palpation:
■ Warmth, tenderness, edema, etc
○ Ophthalmoscope- looking at the internal parts of the eye (pupils)
■ Looking at the fundus, macula
■ Want to see a red reflex → light reflection from the retina
■ Looking for normal blood vessels:
● Are the constricted or enlarged?
■ Are there any lesions?
■ White spots on the macula?
■ Pale conjunctiva → can indicate types of anemia
■ Parts:
● Small aperture- constricted pupils
● Large aperture- pupils that are dilated
● Grid aperture- to detect a presence of any kind of lesion

■ The eye burns, itches, and tears
○ Basal cell carcinoma- usually seen on the lower lid and medial canthus
■ Papular appearance
○ Chalazion- firm, nontender nodule on the eyelid arising from infection of
the
meibomian gland
■ Not painful unless inflamed
○ Hordeolum- also called a stye
■ Result of staphylococcal infection of hair follicles on
the margin of the lids
■ Affected eye is swollen, red, and painful
○ Entropion- inversion of the eyelid and lashes caused by
muscle spasm of the eyelid
■ Friction from lashes can cause corneal irritation
○ Ectropion- eversion of the lower eyelid caused by muscle
weakness exposing the palpebral conjunctiva
○ Ptosis- drooping of the eyelid
■ Occurs with cranial nerve damage or systemic neuromuscular
weakness
○ Periorbital edema- swollen, puffy eyelids
