Question 1 of 5

Which technique of assessment will the healthcare provider use to determine the presence of crepitus, swelling, and pulsations?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Palpation involves using the sense of touch to assess various characteristics such as texture, temperature, moisture, organ location and size, as well as detecting swelling, pulsations, vibrations, rigidity, crepitus, lumps, masses, and tenderness or pain. In this scenario, the healthcare provider would utilize palpation to physically feel for crepitus, swelling, and pulsations. Inspection primarily relies on visual assessment, percussion involves assessing through palpable vibrations and audible sounds, and auscultation uses the sense of hearing.
Therefore, the correct answer is palpation for assessing the presence of crepitus, swelling, and pulsations.
