muscles
inguinal lymph nodes ---correct precise answer ---lymph nodes found

color, uniformity, thickness, symmetry, hygiene, and lesions
popliteal lymph nodes ---correct precise answer ---lymph nodes found
by flexing the supine pt's knee and wrapping your hand around it and

5 characteristics of the skin ---correct precise answer ---moisture,
temperature, texture, turgor, and mobility
documentation of skin lesion ---correct precise answer ---size, shape,

nodule ---correct precise answer ---elevated, firm, circumscribed
