Health Assessment · Module 12 · Abdomen, nutrition and elimination

Abdomen, Nutrition and Elimination Lab

Examine six fictional patients in the right order and watch every finding appear, practice abdomen, nutrition and elimination questions at three levels, race the clock to place findings in the right quadrant, and reason through real life situations. Nothing here is graded.

Part 1: Explorer, Exam Bench

Teaching modelEach fictional patient has a hidden set of findings. You choose the quadrant and the action; the bench reveals what a nurse would find and checks your order: inspect, auscultate, percuss, palpate, painful quadrant last, no deep palpation where it is unsafe. Findings are simplified for learning.

Your jobFor each patient, inspect, listen at least 15 seconds in all four quadrants, then percuss, then palpate, saving the painful area for last. Add a focused maneuver if it fits. When the exam is complete, choose what the findings suggest. Work through the six challenges.
