Examination procedures

Examination procedures are the systematic steps used to evaluate a person's health or a specific condition. They typically involve the healthcare provider inspecting the body visually, feeling for abnormalities (palpation), listening to sounds like the heart or lungs (auscultation), and sometimes testing movement or function. The goal is to gather information to identify any issues, confirm diagnoses, and determine the best treatment plan. These procedures are performed respectfully and carefully to ensure accurate results while ensuring the patient’s comfort and safety.
