hi,
Do I need to perform a complete lung examination for a case of palpitations. Specifically, am I good just auscultating or do i palpate and percuss as well??? UW says auscultation is enough, but are the SPs expecting us to perform a complete examination? Secondly, do we ask for the sexual history in every case?
Similarly, while taking the past medical history, is it required that i enquire about evry system or can i get away with a general statement such as " Did you have any other medical problem in the past?"

In case of a Cardiovascular or lung exam, in a woman, do we have to expose only R chest first, then cover..then uncover L chest?? Or can we untie the gown an let the whole chest exposed? Is so time consuming, to do it by parts...first the L side, then the R side..How do we do it??IN case of a man examination, how to proceed?
THANKS!!!

In respiratory you must expose the whole chest !! Remember you are inspecting the whole thorax. Only with the heart you would do one side first. always remember to help tie the gown again.
