PHYSICAL ASSESSMENT OF THE CHEST, BREAST, BACK, AND ABDOMEN

ASSESSMENT NORMAL FINDINGS

Thorax and Lungs  There are no obvious malformations like kyphosis, scoliosis,
or barrel chest present. Inhalation does not result in any
muscle contractions. The exhalations are done in a relaxed
and untroubled manner. The time needed for expiration is
roughly equivalent to that required for inspiration.
Posterior Thorax  The patient states that palpation of the posterior chest wall
did not cause them any pain; the temperature is warm to the
touch and is the same on both sides; there are no masses,
swellings, or deformities; and the patient's tactile fremitus is
the same on both sides.
Spinal Alignment  A normal spinal alignment can be recognized when viewed
from the front and is characterized by the spine is in a
straight line, the skull being primarily focused over the
pelvis, and the head, shoulders, and pelvis being level.
Breath Sounds  The trachea is filled with the sound of loud, high-pitched
breath from the bronchi. Bronchovesicular sounds can be
heard at a pitch that is somewhere in the middle over the
mainstream bronchi, directly between the scapulae, and
directly below the clavicles. Vesicular breath sounds can be
heard throughout most of the peripheral lung fields. These
sounds are described as being soft, breezy, and low in pitch.
Anterior Thorax  The anterior thorax is symmetrical, with downwardly sloping
ribs, the trachea and sternum in the middle of the chest, no
thorax deformities, masses, or swelling, and the costal angle
is 90 degrees. There is no variation in the skin color
anywhere on the anterior thorax; in fact, the color is uniform.
Breast (Female)  There is not even a hint of discoloration, masses, tenderness,
or other changes in the appearance of the skin; it is
symmetrical, and its size is typical. There is neither a
deformity nor a discharge of the nipple, and there is neither
an enlarged axillary lymph node nor an enlarged axillary
lymph node.
Cardiac Muscle  The carotid artery beats at a regular rate and rhythm;
  There is no dilatation of the jugular vein;
 There are no clicks, murmurs, or additional heart sounds
occurring during the procedure.
 Apical pulse span of two to three centimeters;
Abdomen  The abdominal wall is pliable, symmetrical, and non-tender,
and there is no distention present. Additionally, there is not
any distention. On the patient's skin, there are no visible
lesions or scars. The aorta is located in the middle of the
chest, and there is neither a bruit nor a pulsation that can be
seen. It is not possible for the umbilicus to herniate because
it is situated in the middle of the abdomen.
Abdominal Movement  Movements are symmetrical and are caused by the act of
breathing.
Auscultation  There is no abnormal tympany present, and audible bowel
Of sounds are present at a rate of 23 sounds per minute.
Bowel Sounds  There are no bruits or other abnormal bowel sounds; the
bowel sounds are normal
