The nurse's physical evaluation skills include auscultation, percussion, examination, and palpation. The use of touch to assess a client is known as palpation. It would be suitable for determining the stiffness of the client's abdomen.
What is the proper way for the nurse to palpate the abdomen?
- With your stethoscope's diaphragm lightly placed on the right lower quadrant, listen for bowel sounds.
- If you do not even hear anything, listen for 5 minutes more inside that sector. Bowel sounds might be missing, normal, hypoactive, or hyperactive.
- Place the palmar side of your dominant finger's fingertips straight and together on the abdomen of your patient.
- Palpate using a soft, moderate dipping motion for abnormalities such as muscle guarding, rigidity, or superficial masses
