Week 10: The Comprehensive Physical Exam (cont.)—Musculoskeletal and Neurological Systems
Welcome to the tenth week of Advanced Physical Assessment. During this lesson, you will continue to coordinate the comprehensive physical exam. The systems of focus this week are the musculoskeletal and neurological systems. You will learn about recognizing normal anatomical landmarks and then look at different exam techniques. Next, you will practice those musculoskeletal exam techniques on your friend or patient. You will also review proper terminology for identifying and then appropriately documenting those subjective and objective findings. Finally, you will utilize your differential diagnoses book to help you recognize the similarities, yet uniqueness, of diagnoses specific to this week’s systems of focus.
Review a list of all items due this week in your course syllabus.
Lesson 1: The Musculoskeletal and Neurological Systems
During this lesson, you will begin coordinating the comprehensive exam, recognizing anatomical landmarks, looking at different exam techniques, and reviewing proper terminology for objective findings in regard to the musculoskeletal and neurological systems.
