    Physical

    assesstment Is a process by which a nurse obtains a data

    that describes a persons responses to actual or

    potential health problems which is analyzed toform pertinent diagnosis.

    Is a head to toe review of each body system

    that offers objective information about the client

    and allows the nurse to make clinical judgment.

    Importance of

    physical

    assessment To early detect and treat diseases and disorders.

    To identify actual and potential health problems.

    To establish a data based from which the subsequent

    phases of the nursing evolve. To assess the clients impact of activity and exercise on the

    clients overall level of health.

    To assess the clients routine exercise pattern and observehow the clients body system response to activity and

    exercise. To establish the client-nurse relationship.

    To obtain information about the clients health including,physiologic, psychological, socio-cultural, cognitive,developmental and spiritual aspects.

    To identify the clients strength and weaknesses.

    Purpose of

    physical

    assesstment To supplement, confirm or refute data obtained in the

    nursing history.

    To confirm and identify nursing diagnosis.

    To make clinical judgments about a clients changing

    health status and management.

    To evaluate the physiological outcome of care.

    To obtain and gather data about the clients healthbasis of data for future assessment.

    An excellent way to evaluate an individuals current

    health status.

    techniques in

    physical assestment1. INSPECTION

    It is the use of ones senses of vision and

    smell to consciously observe the patient. It is also known as concentrated

    watching.

    It is a close, careful scrutiny; first of theindividual as a whole and then of each body

    system.

    2. PALPATION

    It is the act of touching a patient in atherapeutic manner to elicit specific

    information.

    It follows and often confirms

    points you noted during inspection.

    Palpation applies

    your sense of touch

    to assess these

    factors

    Texture

    Temperature

    Moisture Organ location and size

    Any swelling, vibration orpulsation

    Rigidity or spasticity

    Crepitation

    Presence of lumps or masses

    Presence of tenderness or pain.

    9/87

    Two distinct

    types of

    palpation

    A. LIGHT PALPATION

    - it is superficial, delicate and gentle.

    - finger pads are used to gain information of thepatients skin surface to a depth ofapproximately - 1 inch below the surface.

    - reveals information on skin texture andmoisture; overt large or superficial masses;and fluid, muscle guarding and superficialtenderness.

    Two distinct

    types of

    palpation

    B. DEEP PALPATION

    -it can reveal information about the position oforgans and masses, as well as their size,shape, mobility, consistency, and areas ofdiscomfort.

    -uses the hands to explore the bodys internalstructure to a depth of 1 to 2 inches or more.

    -most often used for the abdominal and maleand female reproductive assessments.

    techniques in

    physical assestment

    3. PERCUSSION It is the technique of striking or tapping the persons

    skin with short, sharp strokes to assess underlyingstructures.

    The strokes yield a palpable vibration and acharacteristic sound that depicts the location, sizeand density of the underlying organ.

    These sounds also are diagnostic of normal andabnormal findings.

    The thorax and abdomen are the most frequentlypercussed location.

  • 8/3/2019 Abigail Domingo Physical Assessment

    12/87

    Four types of

    percussion

    techniques

    I. IMMEDIATE OR DIRECT PERCUSSION

    The striking hand directly contacts the body wall. This

    produces a sound and is used in percussing theinfants thorax or the adults sinus areas.

    II. MEDIATE OR INDIRECT PERCUSSION

    It is used more often and involves both hands.T

    hestriking hand contacts the stationary hand fixed on

    the persons skin. This yields a sound and a subtle

    vibration.

    Four types of

    percussion

    techniques

    III. DIRECT FIST PERCUSSION

    It is used to assess the presence of tenderness in internal organs,such as the liver or the kidneys. The presence of pain in

    conjunction with direct fist percussion indicatedinflammation of that organ or a strike of too high in

    intensity.

    IV. INDIRECT FIST PERCUSSION

    Its purpose is the same as direct fist percussion. In fact, theindirect method is preferred over the direct method. It is

    because in this methods, the non dominant hand absorbssome of the force of the striking hand. The resulting

    intensity should be sufficient force to produce pain in thepatient if organ inflammation is present .

    Percussion elicits

    five types of sounds

    I. Flatness (dull) bone and muscle

    II. Dullness (thud-like) liver, spleen, heart

    III. Resonance (hollow) air-filled lung /normal lung

    IV. Hyperresonance emphysematous lung

    V. Tympany stomach filled with gas (air)

    4. AUSCULTATION

    It is the act of active listening to the body organs to

    gather information on patients clinical status. includes listening to sounds that are voluntarily and

    involuntarily produced by the body such as the heartand blood vessels and the lungs and abdomen.

    Auscultated sounds should be analyzed in relation totheir relative intensity, pitch, duration, quality, andlocation.

  • 8/3/2019 Abigail Domingo Physical Assessment

    16/87

    Two types of

    auscultation

    A) DIRECT OR IMMEDIATE

    AUSCULTATION

    It is the process of listening with the unaided ear. This can

    include listening to the patient from some distance away orplacing the ear directly on the patients skin surface. Andexample is the wheezing that is audible to the unassisted ear

    in a person having a severe asthmatic attack.

    B) INDIRECT OR MEDIATE

    AUSCULTATIONIt is the use of stethoscope, which transmits the sounds to the

    nurses ear.

    PRIMARY LESIONS

    Appear initially in response to some change in internal orexternal environment of the skin.

    SECONDARY LESIONS

    Do not appear initially but result from modifications such aschronicity, trauma or infection.

  • 8/3/2019 Abigail Domingo Physical Assessment

    Secondary

    lesions

    LOSS OF SKIN SURFACE:

    Erosion- wearing away of the superficial epidermis causing amoist, shallow depression. Since erosions do not extend intothe dermis, they do not bleed and they heal without scarring.

    Ulcer- deep, irregularly-shaped area of the skin loss extendinginto the dermis or subcutaneous tissue which may bleed andmay leave a scar.

    Fissure- a linear crack with sharp edges that extends into thedermis.

    Excoriation- an injury to a surface of the body caused bytrauma, such as scratching, abrasion, or a chemical or thermalburn.

  • 8/3/2019 Abigail Domingo Physical Assessment

    45/87

    Materials on the

    skin surface Crust- dry blood, serum or pus left on the skin surface when

    vesicles or pustules burst. It can be red-brown, orange, oryellow. Scabs are large crusts that adhere to the skin surface.

    Scar- flat, irregular area of connective tissue left after a lesion orwound has healed. New scars may be red or purple, while older

    scars may be white or silvery. Scales- shedding flakes of greasy, keratinized skin tissue. The

    color varies from whit, gray or solver. While, the texture mayrange from fine to thick.

    Keloid- elevated, irregular, darkened area of excess scar tissuecaused excessive collagen formation during healing. It extendsbeyond the site of the original injury and has a higher incidencein people of African descent.

    Lichenification- rough, thickened, hardened area of theepidermis that resulted from chronic irritation such asscratching or rubbing.

    Other skin

    variations

    Petechiae- pinpoint-sized, red or purple spots

    on the skin resulting from small hemorrhages in

    the skin layer.

    Edema- swollen areas from abdominal

    accumulation of fluid in interstitial spaces of

    tissues.

    Skin malignancies

    in older adults

    Basal cell carcinoma - 0.5-1.0cm crusted lesion that may be flator raised and may have rolled and somewhat scaly border.There are frequently underlying and widely dilated bloodvessels that can be seen within the lesion.

    Squamous cell carcinoma - 0.5-1.5cm scaly lesions that may beulcerated or crusted. It appears more frequently, grows morerapidly and occurs more often on the mucosal surfaces andnon-exposed areas of the skin as compared to basal cell.

    Melanoma - 0.5-1.0 am brown, flat lesion that may arise on sun-

    exposed or non-exposed skin. There are varieties ofpigmentation, irregular borders, and indistinct margins.Meanwhile, ulceration, recent growth, or recent changes in long-standing mole are ominuous sign.
