potentially alter the appearance of what is being inspected.
Palpation consists of - ANSWER- Palpation consists of using parts of the hand to
touch and feel for the following characteristics:
• Texture (rough/smooth)
• Temperature (warm/cold)
• Moisture (dry/wet)
• Mobility (fixed/movable/still/vibrating)
• Consistency (soft/hard/fluid filled)
• Strength of pulses (strong/weak/thready/bounding)
• Size (small/medium/large)
• Shape (well defined/irregular)
• Degree of tenderness
Light palpation - ANSWER- There should be very little or no depression (less than
1 cm). Feel the surface structure using a circular motion.
Use this technique to feel for pulses, tenderness, surface skin texture,
temperature, and moisture.
Moderate palpation - ANSWER- Depress the skin surface 1 to 2 cm (0.5 to 0.75
inch) with your dominant hand, and use a circular motion to feel for easily
palpable body organs and masses.
Note the size, consistency, and mobility of structures you palpate.
Deep palpation: - ANSWER- Place your dominant hand on the skin surface & your
nondominant hand on top of your dominant hand to apply pressure between 2.5
& 5 cm (1 and 2 inches).
This allows you to feel very deep organs or structures that are covered by thick
muscle.
