Fifth Assess gait 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.
