In this lesson, a trainer will demonstrate the techniques in gathering subjective and objective data. Utilizing a standardized patient, a nurse will be able to perform/watch a head-to-toe assessment, identify abnormal findings, and document the findings. 

At the end of this topic, a nurse will be able to:

• Approach the examination in a systematic manner
• Demonstrate sensitivity to the needs of the patient
• Interact and explain the procedure to the patient
• Perform the techniques of examination (inspection, palpation, percussion, and auscultation) correctly
