According to the Bates' textbook, when conducting a general, comprehensive physical
examination, move from "head-to-toe." Avoid examining the patient's feet, for example,
before checking the face or mouth. You will quickly see that some segments of the
examination are best assessed when the patient is sitting, such as examination of the
head and neck and the thorax and lungs, whereas others are best obtained with the
patient supine, such as the cardiovascular and abdominal examinations. It is important
to note that clinicians vary in where they place different segments of the examination,
especially examinations of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system. With
practice, you will develop your own sequence of examination, keeping the need for
thoroughness and patient comfort in mind. At first, you may need notes to remind you
what to look for, but over time, this sequence will become habitual and remind you to
return to segments of the examination you may have skipped, helping you to be
complete.
