Abdominal

During an Abdominal examination, the Practitioner records the overall shape and appearance of the abdomen, checking for scars, hernias, skin changes, or unusual pulsations. They then feel for any tenderness, muscle guarding, organ enlargement, or abnormal lumps. Tapping on the abdomen helps identify differences in sound, such as fluid build-up, while listening with a stethoscope provides information on bowel activity or abnormal blood flow sounds. All findings, including the location of pain or other concerns, are documented in this section of the form.
