for the sake of saving time and focussing on the system that will help you make your differential diagnoses sooner, i think its better to finish the abdo exam and then go on to do everything under the sun(as you've pointed out), as long as time permits....but keeping the last 2 or 3 minutes for the closing remarks, counselling, eliciting concerns and answering questions of the SP and giving him/her your assessment and plan for investigations etc. etc.
that's what i think...maybe there are others who think otherwise...
