What the health professional observe
-inspecting
-palpating
-auscultation
-percussing
Lab results

Listening to sounds a body produces such as: heart, blood vessels, lungs and abdomen
uses a stethoscope

-For a limited or short-term problem
-Collect a mini data base, smaller in scope
- more focused than complete data base
-concerns only one problem, one cue complex, one body system

-Follows and often confirms points noted on inspection
-with the sense of touch you assess: texture, temperature, moisture, organ location, swelling, vibration, pulsation

Concentrated watch
-close careful scrutiny first of the individual as a whole then of each body system
-always come first

Structured interaction between health care provider and client
-Collects subjective data

-Rapid collection of data
-Complied with life-saving measures
-Diagnosis must be swift and sure

Done with plexor and plexometer

Leads to nursing diagnosis
-interpret data
-identify related factors
-document diagnosis

What the person relates during history taking

-Location
-Quality
-Quantity and Severity
-Timing
-Setting
-Aggravating/Relieving factors
-Associated factors
-Client's perception

Head to toe
-Complete health history and full physical examination
-Describes the current and past health state and forms baseline
-yields the first diagnosis

The status of any identified problem should be evaluated at regular and appropriate intervals
-what changes occured? did it get better or worse?
-Used in all settings to follow up short term or chronic health problems
