Thanks a lot! what other acronyms did u use? can u share it please.. coz whenever i create my own, it doesn't seem to sink in to my memory ... :( thanks a lot!
ok, ill go thru the vid this weekend and put up all the acronyms by sunday. cant do it now...exams, presentations, n life n stuff. u know how it goes. lol :)
ok i see you're talking about the info box.. TMJ = temporomandibular joint PERRLA = pupils equal, round, reactive to light, accommodate AP-TV ratio = anteriorposterior-transverse ratio ant. chest = anterior chest JVD = jugular vein distention API = ??? I prbly meant MPI for maximum point of impulse. or i might have made up my own abbrev for apical 9pulse) BS = bowel sounds ROM = range of motion cap refill = capillary refill i think that's it. if i left something out, let me know.
EENT = eyes, ears, nose, and throat. We did use the Jarvis book. EENT may not be used there, but it is a frequently used abbreviation that I pulled from memory or another assessment book I have.
thx for the feedback. one of my teachers, the one grading this exam actually, stressed permission to touch pretty hard in this class and another. not sure, but wouldnt permission be implied by pt's willingness to go along w/ everything after informing her that i would be doing a PE?
in my opinion, its good practice to get permission. For example: if you have to touch a pt's gential areas, you need permission or else you will get sued! I wouldn't want a male/ female nurse touching me without permission and explaining why....
Im in first year University! im studying this now!
i agree it's good practice. better safe than sorry. i still think that if pt is cooperating after u explain what u are about to do, then consent is implied.
if they resisted, u would know. for example, last time i was a pt getting a PE, doc told me he would chk my genitals. i objected, and he didnt proceed until i finally gave in. haha.
Ya it's weird, even if when im practising with my partner, I have to introduce my name and that Im a student nurse. But u do not need permission when hands i think...
good video. i can't believe you have something of you uploaded. you have this tendency to keep your face covered since you have this thing about people recognizing you. noreene and bonnie have asked about you. hope you're doing well!
true. but you might have to check the scalp of a newly admitted pt on the initial assessment, especially if there are skin or head issues, or if a pt checked into the ER for head trauma, etc.
yes, there are things on here that a student would never do in clinicals...eg, tactile fremitus, sinuses, etc.
i guess whoever created the check off sheet for this health assessment class wanted to test the student's ability to do basic physical examination covering the major body parts.
good point. a thorough exam would've included temporal, thyroid, bruit, and more. but none of those were on the checklist. since it was a timed exam, spending time on anything beyond the graded items wouldve been inefficient.

normally you wouldn't do this in a real hospital setting..
if someone has a problem with their bowels, you wouldn't bother checking for lesions on their scalp lol.

the only thing that confused me .. does the doctor have his ears at the back of his neck ?
bolt001 3 years ago
yes, i believe he does. you can tell by the careful placement of the stethoscope on the back of his neck.
