Description

Physical examination is a systematic process where a healthcare provider assesses a patient's body to identify any signs of disease or health issues. It typically includes:

Inspection: Observing the patient's appearance, posture, and any visible abnormalities.
Palpation: Using hands to feel for abnormalities in the body, such as lumps or tenderness.
Percussion: Tapping on specific areas to assess the condition of internal organs based on sound.
Auscultation: Listening to internal sounds, usually with a stethoscope, to check heart and lung function.

Physical examinations are essential for diagnosing conditions, monitoring health, and guiding treatment decisions. They can vary in scope depending on the patient's age, health status, and specific concerns.
