see.
physical examination - correct answersthe collection of objective data about the patient's health
status.
inspection - correct answersthe visual assessment of different aspects of the patient (e.g., visual
assessment of the patient's body systems and body movements).
palpation - correct answersthe examination of different organs of the body using the sense of
touch.
percussion - correct answersthe use of sound to examine different organs of the body.
auscultation - correct answerslistening to sounds produced within different body structures
created by the movement of air or fluid.

referred to as electronic medical record (EMR).
