Abdominal examina
The document provides instructions for performing an abdominal examination, including inspection from both sides of the patient to observe the shape, umbilicus, flanks, stria, scars, engorged veins, visible peristalsis, and lumps or bruises. During palpation, the examiner should feel the abdomen through superficial and deep touches and palpate individual organs. The examination involves inspection, palpation, percussion, and auscultation of the abdomen to check for any abnormalities.
