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.

Four basic
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.

Four basic
techniques in
physical assestment
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.
8/3/2019 Abigail Domingo Physical Assessment

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.

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.

Four basic
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.
8/3/2019 Abigail Domingo Physical Assessment
13/87
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 .
8/3/2019 Abigail Domingo Physical Assessment
14/87
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)

techniques in
physical assestment
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.

DURING
Conduct the assessment in a systematic fashion everytime.
While performing each step in the physical assessment
process, you may need to inform the patient of what toexpect, where to expect it, and how it should feel.
Avoid making crude or negative remarks, be cognizant ofyour facial expression when dealing with malodorous anddirty patients or with disturbing findings.
Proceed from the least invasive to the most invasiveprocedure for each body system.
If the patient complains of fatigue, continue the assessmentlater.

Macule - circumscribed 1mm to 1cm in size
Patch - irregularly-shaped and larger than 1cm.
II. ELEVATED LESIONS
Papule - circumscribed solid skin elevations less than 1cm
Plaque - larger than 1cm
Nodule - solid hard mass with circumscribed border thatextends deeper into the dermis and 0.5-2cm in size.
Tumor- solid hard mass with irregular border that may extendthrough the subcutaneous tissue larger than 2cm.

Vesicle - translucent circumscribed, round or oval elevation
of the skin which is filled with serious fluid or blood andsmaller than 0.5cm.
Bulla - thin-walled blister of the skin or mucous membranesgreater then 0.5cm containing clear, serous fluid.
Pustule - circumscribed elevation of the skin that varies n
size and is similar to a vesicle but filled with pus. Cyst - 1cm or large, elevated, encapsulated in or under the
skin lined with epithelium and containing fluid or semisolidmaterial.
8/3/2019 Abigail Domingo Physical Assessment
44/87
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.
8/3/2019 Abigail Domingo Physical Assessment
46/87
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.
8/3/2019 Abigail Domingo Physical Assessment
47/87
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.
