for step 2 CS,
i keep reading in multiple sources that u shouldnt palpate more than once in a tender area on the SP. there was even a demo examinee checklist in first aid for CS that says "examinee did not repeat painful maneuvers." so how do u check for rebound tenderness?

good ? The Bates Book states that people who have peritonitis may experience pain in the area of interest just by coughing. IF this is negative, then one can do rebound tenderness.
