PCM Review (Test 1) Flashcards
Body Position and Patient Skills
- Right Lateral Renumber: Patient lying on RIGHT SIDE (left side up)
ABDOMINAL EXAM:
1) INSPECTION:
- LOOK at your Patient
- Are they Responsive? Are they Agitated? Do they look Sick?
2) AUSCULTATION (Use Stethoscope to Identify Sounds):
- Heart, Lungs, Abdomen (If Indicated), Vessels (Renal, Abdominal, Carotids, Etc [If Indicated])
- Lungs: Deep Breath IN and OUT through Mouth at each Lung Lobe Location
3) PERCUSSION (Tap with 3rd Finer over Last Joint):
- DULL (Fluid) vs FLAT (Solid) vs TYMPANIC (Air)
4) PALPATATION
**RESPIRATION has the AUSCULTATION LAST!!!!!!!!
**ALWAYS CHECK BILATERALLY- You don’t want to miss something like a diminished Pulse Pressure on One side and find out later that was a CRUCIAL aspect of the DIFFERENTIAL!
Osteopathic Structural Exam
1) Body = UNIT
2) Body = Self- Regulatory Mechanisms
3) Structure and Function are RELATED
4) Using 1 through 3 —> RATIONAL THERAPY
5) OSE uses Musculoskeletal Exam even in NOT CHIEF COMPLAINT
***Use LAY TERMS so that you patient feel a part of the CONVERSATION because they are YOUR BEST TOOLS!!!!
Opthalmoscope
EYES
- Hand on Patient: Use Your RIGHT eye to examine patients RIGHT Eye —–> Start LATERALLY —> Move MEDIALLY —–> RED REFLEX!!!!!!!!
- DIRECT PUPIL LIGHT REFLEX: That pupil CONSTRICTS vs CONSENSUAL (Light in Eye 1 —> Constriction of Eye 2)
Otoscope
EARS
- Adults: Up, Out, and AWAY
- CONE of LIGHT and TYMPANIC MEMBRANE
Snellen Chart
- Visual ACUITY TESTED: Hold at about 14 Inches from EYES
- Normal 20/20
- 20/40 means that the test subject sees at 20 feel what fNormal person sees at 40 Feet!
Oropharynx
- Light + “AHHHHHH” —-> Examine Mucosa, Pharynx, Uvula, Tonsils, Etc
BP Cuff (Spygmomanometer)
- Choose what fits the PATIENT —> Wrap Cuff over BRACHIAL ARTERY—-> Fill —> Listen
- 1st Sound Heard: 1st Korotkoff Sound (Systole)
- 2nd Sound: Last Korotkoff Sound (Diastole)
Tuning Fork
HEARING
- Air Conduction > Bone Conduction
- AC: In from of EAM
- BC: Bone area BEHIND EAR
Vibratory Sense:
- On the KNEE CAP and Compare Bilaterally
Reflex Hammer
DEEP TENDON REFLEX
- Make Sure the Patient is Relaxed
- Graded from 0 to 4 (2/4 is NORMAL)
- 3/4: HYPER and 0,1: HYPO
Upper Extremity:
- C5: Biceps, Strike THUMB
- C6: Brachioradialis, Strike LIGAMENT
- C7: Triceps, Strike LIGAMENT
Lower Extremity:
- L4: Patella, Strike TENDON
- S1: Achilles, Strike TENDON
Stethoscope
1) Bell= Bruits (LOW Pitched)!!!!!!!!!!!
2) Diaphragm= Heart/ Lungs (HIGH Pitched)!!!!
***NEVER Listen OVER CLOTHES!!!!!
Standards (CDC)
CDC:
- Prevent SPREAD of Disease
- CLEAN GLOVES
- WASH hands before AND AFTER WEARING GLOVES!!!
Anatomic Position
- When diagnosing, be able to determine where things are at (Medial, Lateral) you need to Know where it should be!!!!!
- Ex: Is the Ulna MEDIAL or LATERAL to the Radius?
* * Ulna is MEDIAL
Be familiar with TERMS, they will be Involved in EVERYTHING from here on out!!!
- Medial/ Lateral
- Deep/ Superficial
- Proximal/ Distal
- Ipsilateral (Same Side)/ Contralateral (Opposite Side)
- Anterior/ Posterior (Ventral/ Dorsal)
- Superior/ Inferior (Cephalic/ Caudad)
- Prone/ Supine
Coronal/ Frontal Plane
- Divides the Body into ANTERIOR and POSTERIOR (Face or FRON versus Back of the Head)
- Motion: SIDE BENDING!!!!
- Anterior/ Posterior AXIS!!!!
Sagittal
- Divides the Body into RIGHT and LEFT
- Motion: Forward/ Backward Bending aka FLEXION/ EXTENSION (Touch Your Toes)
- Right/ Left AXIS!!!!!
Transverse
- Divides the Body into SUPERIOR and INFERIOR (Upper versus Lower)
- Motion: ROTATION
- LONGITUDINAL (Superior/ Inferior) AXIS!!!!!!
Axis
- Imaginary Line around which Motion Occurs
- PERPENDICULAR to the PLANE!!!!
Gravitational Line
1) Head: External Auditory Canal
2) Arms: lateral Head of the Humerus
3) Spine: 3rd Lumbar Vertebrae
4) Sacrum: Anterior 1/3 of the Sacrum
5) Hip: Greater Trochanter
6) Knee: Lateral Condyle of the Knee
7) Ankle: Lateral Malleolus
- ***Related to Posture:
- Goal: The Body wants to MAINTAIN EYE LEVEL!!!!!!
Scoliosis
- S SHAPED curve (Lateral Curve)
- Side Bending
- CORONAL PLANE
Rotated
- Looking a a DIFFERENT DIRECTION
- Rotated
- TRANSVERSE PLANE
Kyphosis
- HUNCHED OVER
- Bent FORWARD/ Flexion
- SAGITTAL PLANE!!!!!!!
- Concave: ANTERIOR
- Convex: POSTERIOR
Lordosis
- Extremely ARCHED
- Bench BACKWARD/ Extension
- SAGITTAL PLANE!!!!!
Pectus Excavatum
- Funnel Chest. Abnormal DEPRESSIOn
- “Excavate” —> “Dig a Hole”
Pectus Carinatum
- PIGEON CHEST
Review the Osteopathic Approach
- Landmarks
- If one ASIS is HIGHER than the Other, what place is the DYSFUNCTION in???
CERVICAL and LUMBAR= Lordosis!!!!!!
THORACIC and SACRUM = Kyphosis!!!!!!!
