objective data (neck)
Give this one a try later!
inspect :
1. symmetry/midline = trachea, thyroid
2. ROM (up, down, side)
3. note masses and vessel prominence (bounding)
4. watch patient swallow and move neck
palpate :
1. lymph nodes (healthy if cant see or are not swollen)
2. trachea
3. thyroid
4. note masses
auscultate : carotids (not at same time)
objective data (thyroid)
Give this one a try later!
, 1. find landmarks (isthmus, right lobe, left lobe)
2. may not be palpable
3. have patient extend neck & swallow or sip water
4. located below thyroid cartilage and cricoid cartilage
5. place fingers of both hands just below cricoid cartilage
6. displace left to right feeling for masses, tenderness, or
enlargement

abnormalities (head and face)
Give this one a try later!
1. hydrocephalus = extra drainage of cerebrospinal fluid
which causes enlargement of head
2. acromegaly = excessive growth hormone results in
enlarged skull, large face
