[@nikkirae4313]

Thank you for this! I feel pretty lucky that I am still able to go to nursing school during this time of isolation, but learning skills through zoom is so hard! I appreciate seeing that it's possible to practice on myself and at least get a little more comfortable with the process

[@Lolita_Vega]

Oh my gosh I love your demonstration! This is going to be on my next exam and I read my book several times to try to understand abd percussion but it would just not make sense in my head( I am a visual learner). Thank you so much for making this video 💗

Thank you for letting me know 😊

[@TDRrobertTDR]

i appreciate this very much. what would be great is to have a video that goes over the proper/expected report. Ex: when reporting color should you just say expected for ethnicity, or include no jaundice, cyanosis, redness, bruising, striae, etc? what would be the minimum acceptable, but still covering everything. thank you!

[@NurseMinder]

Great idea!

@@NurseMinder Great video Happy New Year which stethoscope do you have? what do you look for when listening to your stomach? Many thanks in advance

[@NurseMinder]

I use a Littman classic. At first you are listening for one thing: is there sound? If you hear no bowel sounds (gurgles), listen for a full minute. If you hear sounds, then are they faint and far between or so many that there is never a break. Chart what you hear

[@drei000]

@@NurseMinder Thanks, it is difficult to find bowel noises Which Littmann Classic Stehoscope do you have? do you also listen to the lower abdomen?

[@NurseMinder]

I have had mine for 15 years. I dont know if they have changed names. It is just the classic. I see a classic II that is like mine

[@dldar_adil_muhamad]

Great, Why did you do Percussion before palpation?

[@NurseMinder]

Hi! The palpation should be before percussion- in the abdomen the important thing to note is auscultation needs to be before palpation for a couple of reasons 1) it is said palpation can alter the frequency of resting bowel sounds and 2) if you palpate and it is tender - you may not have the ability to complete your assessment because the patient will refuse

What about palpation of the spleen?

[@NurseMinder]

Under normal conditions you will not feel the spleen - :)

[@teresalai3416]

If the patient is an abdominal post op patient e.g. endovascular coiling due to hepatic bleeding and the pain is in control, can we still do that deep and specialised palpation to check the liver?

[@NurseMinder]

Great question! I hope nurses who work in this area can answer this.

[@hashiramsenju8811]

I feel tenderness when i press my left lower quadrant.

[@NurseMinder]

What did you do next?

[@rehanathshaffi4463]

Mam can you explain about ausculto-percussion test?

[@NurseMinder]

I am wondering if you are thinking about locating liver edges through the scratch test? Am I on the right track?

[@rehanathshaffi4463]

@@NurseMinder Thank you mam

[@NurseMinder]

Auscultate the abdomen. Start scratching the skin over the liver and move down. As the sound changes, you have discovered the liver border

Si ma non è la stessa cosa fare un autoesame dell'addome, con la propia mano è sempre piu' semplice, mentre la mano estranea puo' alterare la percezione oppure puo' rendere l'addome non trattabile, ma non perche' il paziente ha dolore ma perche' non è abituato a sentire mani estranee che gli toccano la pancia, oppure perche' soffre il solletico, per cui esistono molte variabili nella pratica.

[@NurseMinder]

Thank you for your comments .. there are many variables that make completing an abdominal assessment challenging - being ticklish is one of them

[@NurseMinder]

If they are new surgical scars, we need to monitor them healing / or worsening tears. If they are old, it is for documentation.
