Guys, would you answer the following qs:
1. If SP has tenderness during anterior chest palpation (i.e. costochondritis), should we move on and perform anterior chest lung auscultation? I bet, SP will experience pain taking deep breath...
2. If SP is lying down on a couch on his side in acute pain, should we turn him supine to examine his abdomen or leave him in a such position?
3. If before abdominal exam SP tells you he has RLQ pain, Should we start abdominal palpation from LLQ? Right? And should we press on the RLQ to elicit pain? Than... should we check rebound tenderness in RLQ?
4. How do you guys express empathy? "I'm sorry to hear that..." What else?
5. During summarization, is it ok do not mention PE findings but chief complaint only? or mention both of them?
6. How many transitions do you use? Do you use them before FH, SexH, SocialH, Ob\Gyn?
Any answers will be appreciated! Especially from those who got HIGH CIS component))
