2025/2026 A+ Graded 100% verified
The Nursing process - ANS-ADPIE (assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation,
evaluation)
hand hygiene is - ANS-the single most important component to reduce risk of infection
steps of assessment process - ANS-inspection, palpation, percussion, auscultation,
inspection - ANS-physical exams begin with
palpation - ANS-use of hands to feel texture, size, shape, consistency, location of certain parts,
and identify painful tender areas
palmar surface of fingers and finger pads are more sensitive than - ANS-fingertips
palmar surface of finger and finger pads are better to determine - ANS-texture, size,
consistency, masses, fluid, and crepitus
ulnar surface of hand to fifth finger is most sensitive to - ANS-vibration
dorsal surface is better for assessing - ANS-temperature
light palpation accomplished by - ANS-pressing to a depth of approx. 1cm
light palpation used to assess - ANS-skin, pulsations, and tenderness
deep palpation accomplished by - ANS-pressing to a depth of 4cm with one or two hands
organ size and contour - ANS-deep palpation used to determine
bimanual technique - ANS-palpation uses both hands, one anterior and one posterior, to entrap
an organ or mass between two fingertips to assess shape and size
light palpation should always procede - ANS-deep palpation because deep palpation may
cause tenderness or disrupt fluids
, percussion is performed to - ANS-eval, size, borders, consistency of internal organs, detect
tenderness, determine extent of fluid in body cavity
direct percussion - ANS-strike finger/hand directly against patients body, eval adult sinus by
directly tapping fingers on sinus, elicit tenderness over kidney by striking costovertebral angle
(CVA) directly with fist
indirect percussion - ANS-requires both hands, methods cab vary by system being assessed,
5 percussion tones - ANS-tympany, resonance, hyperresonance, dullnes, flatness
tympany - ANS-is loud, high pitched sounds heard over abdomen
resonance - ANS-heard over normal lung tissue
dullness - ANS-heard over liver
flatness - ANS-heard over bones and muscle
auscultation - ANS-listening to sounds within body; commonly use stethoscope
sphygmomanometer - ANS-consists of gauge to measure pressure, a cuff enclosing an
inflatable bladder, and bulb with valve used to inflate and deflate bladder within cuff
ophthalmoscope - ANS-is an instrument consisting of series of lenses, mirrors, and light
apertures to inspect internal eye structures
otoscope - ANS-consists of magnification lens, light source, and speculum inserted into
auditory canal to inspect canal and tympanic membrane
tuning fork - ANS-has two purposes auditory screening and assessment of vibratory sensation
auditory screening - ANS-high pitched tuning fork with frequency of 500-1000 hertz (Hz) should
be used to estimate hearing loss in range of normal speech
assessment of vibratory sensation - ANS-for neurologic vibratory eval, a pitch between
100-400Hz should be used sharply strike running fork on heel of hand to engange tuning fork
percussion of reflex hammer - ANS-used to test deep tendon reflexes
doppler - ANS-uses ultrasonic waves to detect and amplify difficult to hear vascular sounds
such as fetal heart tones and peripheral pulses, resulting sounds nurses hear is swishing
pulsating sound
