Examination

Examination Technique Findings (document findings below)

INSPECT the client for general appearance, posture, and breathing effort.

OBSERVE respirations for rate and quality, breathing pattern, and chest expansion.

INSPECT the client’s nail, skin, and lips for color.

Posterior Thorax

INSPECT the posterior thorax for shape and symmetry, and muscle development.

AUSCULTATE the posterior and lateral thorax for breath sounds.

Anterior Thorax

INSPECT the anterior thorax for shape and symmetry, muscle development, anteroposterior diameter to lateral diameter, and costal angle.

AUSCULTATE the anterior thorax for breath sounds.

Advanced Practice and Special Circumstances

Posterior Thorax Lateral

PALPATE posterior thoracic muscles for tenderness, bulges, and symmetry.

PALPATE the posterior chest wall for thoracic expansion.

PALPATE the posterior thorax wall for vocal (tactile) fremitus (advanced practice).

PERCUSS the posterior and lateral thorax for tone (advanced practice).

AUSCULTATE the thorax for vocal sounds (vocal resonance)

(advanced practice).

Breathing Effort/Quality

Chapter 12 Lungs and Respiratory System Page 3

Anterior Thorax
