Response Feedback: The most effective procedure to ensure correct serial measurements is to mark the borders at several intervals so that with the next measurements, the tape is in the same location. • Question 14 2 out of 2 points When conducting the abdominal examination, after you inspect you proceed next to:   auscultation.   auscultation. Response Feedback: Auscultation precedes palpation or percussion of the abdomen because these techniques can stimulate peristalsis and that may alter correct assessment of the abdominal sounds. The rectal examination is performed at a point after a full abdominal examination is completed. • Question 15 2 out of 2 points To perform a deep tendon reflex measurement, you should:   briskly tap the tendon with the rubber end of the hammer.   briskly tap the tendon with the rubber end of the hammer. Response Feedback: Deep tendon reflexes are performed by quickly and firmly tapping either end of the rubber hammer on the stretched tendon, and then observing muscle movement. The pointed end is particularly useful in small areas, such as on your finger placed over the patient s biceps tendon. • Question 16 2 out of 2 points Which technique is commonly used to elicit tenderness arising from the liver, gallbladder, or kidneys?   Fist percussion   Fist percussion Response Feedback: The fist percussion is a direct percussion technique used to elicit tenderness over organs such as the liver, gallbladder, or kidneys. • Question 17 2 out of 2 points Knowledge of the culture or cultures represented by the patient should be used to:   help make the interview questions more pertinent.   help make the interview questions more pertinent.

Response Feedback: The palmar surface of the nondominant (stationary) hand should rest against the body surface with the fingers spread slightly. To improve eliciting correct tones, a helpful tip is to hyperextend the middle finger of the stationary hand and place the distal interphalangeal joint of the middle finger firmly against the body surface. This lifting of the fingertip avoids dampening of the vibratory sounds. [Show More]
