Question 1 of 5
When assessing the abdomen,which assessment technique is used last?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: palpation. Palpation is used last when assessing the abdomen to prevent altering bowel sounds or causing discomfort to the patient before other techniques such as inspection, percussion, and auscultation are completed. Inspection allows for visual assessment, percussion helps identify organ borders, and auscultation assesses bowel sounds. Palpation is the final step as it involves touching and pressing the abdomen to assess for tenderness, masses, and organ size. This sequence ensures a systematic and thorough assessment of the abdomen.
