Material Detail

This resource was the third place winner in the 2013 Softchalk Lesson Challenge.

'The skills of physical assessment and examination provide powerful tools to detect, subtle, as well as obvious, changes in a client's health. A physical examination is a head to toe review of each body system that offers objective information about a client. The accuracy of the physical assessment and examination will influence the choice of therapies a client receives and the evaluation of the response to those therapies. A key determinant in the accuracy of the physical examination is body positioning. In this module, students will learn about various types of physical examinations and the body positions a client must be placed in to ensure all necessary parts are exposed so surfaces can be viewed.'
