the tail of Spence, and axillary lymph nodes.
2. Circular pattern for palpation: starts by palpating the areola first and moving in a circular motion from the areola to the outer perimeter
of the breast
3. Radial spoke pattern for palpation: also known as the wedge pattern, divides the breast into wedges; starts at the periphery
of the breast and palpates toward the nipple

the breast, ending up in the axillary area

Femoral Pulse:along the crease midway between the pubic bone and the anterior iliac crest. Tibial Pulse: behind and below
the medial malleolus.

inspection, palpation, percussion, auscultation

doctor annually and self exams routinely

16. Identify the elements of good patient care documentation.: documentation should be clear, concise, and detailed.
subjective data should be documented using the patients exact words and quotation marks
17. Identify the purpose of health assessment for nurses.: Health assessment is an essential skill to nursing practice.
Assessing patients and being able to identify normal from abnormal findings is an essential role of the RN. Nurses must be able to use learned skills
to collect information about patients' health and physical well-being.
Health assessment means assessing the whole patient. This includes:
A method to establish a baseline health history by collecting pertinent patient health status data An organized, systematic,
ongoing process of collecting, validating, and clustering data Collecting ditterent types of data about the individual's past
and present health

subcutaneous abrasions - first few layers are rubbed away (stage 2 ulcer)
senile purpura - areas of ruptured fagile cappillaries and brusing of of the skin, caused by loss of subcutaneous fat (bruise or echhymosis area)
epithelial contusions - Think goose egg
