A nurse and physical examination of a client/patient
BENEDIKTOVÁ, Martina
My thesis deals with physical examination of the patient by a nurse and its right technique. Physical examination generally follows the taking of the medical history - an account of the symptoms as experienced by the patient - in internal and surgical wards. It becomes part of the medical record. The theoretical part describes the complete physical examination and gives its definition. Physical examination is focused on the somatic condition of the patient. A systematic examination generally starts at the head and finishes at the extremities. The main organ systems are investigated by inspection, palpation, percussion, auscultation and per rectum examination. For physical examination a nurse uses her senses - sight, hearing, touch, sometimes also smell. My thesis examines the right technique of physical examination and why this examination should be carried out by a nurse. I also wanted to give reason why the physical examination should become a common part of the nursing process.
