Week 6: The Comprehensive Physical Exam (cont.)Cardiovascular System

Welcome to the sixth week of Advanced Physical Assessment. In this week, you will continue to coordinate the comprehensive physical exam. The system of focus this week is the cardiovascular system. You will recognize the specific anatomical landmarks. Remember, identifying these landmarks will make those abnormal findings that much easier to identify. You will look at different cardiac exam techniques and then practice your cardiac exam technique on your cooperating patient of choice. You will then review proper terminology for identifying and appropriately documenting those subjective and objective findings. You will utilize your differential diagnoses book to help you recognize similarities, yet uniqueness, of diagnoses specific to your week’s system of focus.

Review a list of all items due this week in your course syllabus.

Lesson 1: The Cardiovascular System

During this lesson, you will learn about subjective and objective data, as well as how to perform a culturally sensitive assessment and begin proper documentation of an During this lesson, you will begin coordinating the comprehensive exam, recognizing anatomical landmarks, looking at different exam techniques, and reviewing proper terminology for objective findings. This week, you will also use your Goolsby and Grubbs textbook for the discussion question. You are not required to read the entire chapter assigned in the discussion question, but you will need to skim it for specific information.

Learning Outcomes

At the end of this lesson, you will be able to:

• Begin the practice of sequencing and coordinating the comprehensive physical exam of the adult patient in the cardiovascular system.
• Identify the anatomical landmarks of the cardiovascular system in the human body.
• Correlate examination techniques of the cardiovascular system using the correct sequence and anatomical landmarks in an adult patient system.
• Use correct terminology to record objective components of the physical examination findings.

Before attempting to complete your learning activities for this week, review the following learning materials:

Learning Materials

Read the following in your Bates’ Guide to Physical Examination and History Taking textbook:

Chapter 16, “Cardiovascular System”

These readings will help you perform a cardiovascular assessment and then recognize pertinent positives and negatives related to that system and document them appropriately. You should also have a good understanding of the murmur tables on pages 380 and 382 of your text.
