yes.. provided you dont palpate so hard that the patient screams.. atleast try..
Tell the patient.. I am going to press slightly deeper to check for a few signs that can tell me more about your medical problem, it may be uncomfortable. If you cant tolerate just ask me to stop and I will stop immediately. Is that okay? ..... thankyou
This should atleast tell the examiner that u were trying to perform a thorough exam but were considerate of patient's discomfort. Mention in your pt. Note also.
Good Luck
