safety in patient record-keeping and interprofessional communication. The
Daalbirrwirr Gamambigu Project (Flemington et al., 2022) produced a culturally
adapted ISBAR (an acronym for ‘identify, situation, background, assessment and
recommendation’) for interprofessional communication, and a cultural safety
checklist (see
Figure 4.8). Your hospital or healthcare organisation can also use tools
and checklists to assess organisational-level cultural safety (NSWMoH, 2022). All
these forms of evidence are important for your continuing professional development
and the accreditation of your healthcare organisation (ACSQHC, 2017).

As a nurse, you will spend most of your time with people during hospitalisation
or medical treatment, so it is to your advantage to familiarise yourselves with
all aspects of their social and emotional wellbeing. It will make your job easier
and benet the person, who will feel that you understand something about their
cultures, concerns and issues. When initiating a health assessment and physical
examination, you are not expected to be the ‘expert’ but to have some familiarity
with the individual’s culture and a willingness to learn about their lives.
There is an increasing number of First Nations’ nurses and doctors entering
the healthcare arena. While it is not and should not be their responsibility to only
care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, or to share their knowledge,

you can respectfully ask them for assistance if the issue you are dealing with is
culturally related. Choose your questioning moment with care and ensure that you
have already built up a relationship of trust and professionalism so they are not
going to interpret your questions as bothersome and taking them away from what
they should be doing. Remember, there are First Nations healthcare professionals
who can assist you (in addition to nurses and doctors, there are interpreters and
community health workers). This will in turn impact on the individual’s health and
rate of healing, and/or their willingness to comply with what you are requesting
of them.
‘I’m scared of saying or doing the wrong thing’ – My letter to you
At the heart of this journey is your ability to genuinely share your time and spirit.
Inthe busy-ness and clinical-ness of the system and its demands, you can see how
our two worlds can clash. You may feel awkward doing this at work, perhaps even
scared that you are crossing professional boundaries in some way or fearful that
you are going to say or do something wrong. Our fear of doing or saying the wrong
thing often holds us back. We doubt whether we could really add value or make a
difference to the person sitting in front of us.
When we remove the idea that we are there to x someone’s problems and focus
instead on the importance of building a trusting relationship (which can still respect
professionalism), we often nd not only do we have something to offer but that we
will gain something beautiful in return.
CHAPTER 4
It is important to emphasise that we need your genuine and meaningful time so that
we can read your heart, connect with you our way and this leads to us understanding
you. How does anyone trust someone they don’t understand? If anything, fear
sits there and that is why so many of our people are scared of hospital, health or
anything to do with the dominant system. Then, when we have non-Indigenous health
professionals coming from that system and mimicking its busy, process-oriented,
disconnected and individualistic ways that essentially lack heart, it only further
exacerbates our fears. Naturally, we will do everything to avoid anything that makes
us feel that way, as any human would.
So, you can see how important each and every one of you is in this dream to create
equitable access for our people. You have read this far so clearly you want to be the
best nurse you can be, to all people, regardless of cultural background.
When you have the ultimate privilege of connecting with an Aboriginal or Torres
Strait Islander person, I encourage you to give the gift of your time and spirit;
regardless of whether this environment is clinical, work-related or social. Use the
time to share your spirit by offering a bit of your story, not your professional or
educational one; strip away that privilege and let us connect with you and better
understand your weave in this world. Where did you come from? Who is your family?
What makes you, you?Then tell me that you know nothing about my journey, but you
are here to listen and learn. And I promise you, every time you speak to an Aboriginal
or Torres Strait Islander person, you will learn something deep, something that will
move your spirit and change your heart in some special way; but you need to be
open to that transformative learning and understand that you don’t have to have
the answers and we do not expect you to. Just listen and listen deeply so, together,
wecan walk and dream in solidarity.

PHYSICAL EXAMINATION TECHNIQUES
LEARNING OUTCOMES
By the end of this chapter you should be able to:
1 describe how to maintain standard precautions and transmission-based precautions during
the physical examination
2 establish an environment suitable for conducting a physical examination
3 describe how to perform inspection, palpation, percussion and auscultation, and identify
which areas of the body are assessed with each technique
4 demonstrate inspection, palpation, percussion and auscultation in the clinical setting.
BACKGROUND
Inspection, palpation, percussion and auscultation are the techniques used by
the nurse to assess the consumer during a physical examination. This chapter
introduces the assessment techniques and equipment used to conduct physical
examinations. Before commencing your physical examination, always remember
the signicance of utilising infection control practices during every encounter
involving the consumer. It is important to be aware of the Australian Commission
on Safety and Quality in Health Care national priorities that promote, support
and encourage the implementation of safety and quality in healthcare provision
(ACSQHC, 2019) and the second edition of the National Safety and Quality Health
Service Standards (ACSQHC, 2017). Further, in New Zealand, the Health Quality &
Safety Commission (2022) works with clinicians, providers and consumers to ensure
quality and improvement in health care.
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that causes
coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and the subsequent worldwide pandemic have
created signicant challenges and changes to many healthcare practices. To date,
there have been over 515 million cumulative cases of COVID-19, and over six
million cumulative deaths worldwide (World Health Organization (WHO), 2022a).
Practice changes to physical examination of persons requiring health care have been
considerable. Practice changes include increased use of standard and
transmission-based precautions, telehealth, and the use of articial intelligence
to diagnose respiratory sounds. The use of standard precautions and
transmission-based precautions will be explored in this chapter and should
be applied in the context of the physical examination.

CONSIDERATIONS PRIOR TO COMMENCING
PHYSICALEXAMINATION
Physical examination of a consumer serves many purposes:
1. screening of general wellbeing; the ndings will serve as baseline information
for future examinations
2. validation of the reason/s that brought the consumer to seek health care
3. monitoring of current health problems
4. identication of health problems/medical diagnoses and treatments.
The need for physical examination depends on factors such as the consumer’s
health status, contact with healthcare providers, and accessibility to health care. For
example, a person with diabetes mellitus, arthritis and glaucoma is likely to access
health care more often than a healthy teenager or adult.
Standard precautions
The transmission of hepatitis, human immunodeciency virus (HIV), severe acute
respiratory syndromes (SARS), and other infectious diseases is a primary concern
for the nurse and for the consumer.
as ‘universal precautions’, were developed by the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) to protect healthcare professionals and consumers. Australia and
New Zealand have developed national guidelines underpinned by the principles
of the CDC and WHO guidelines for standard and transmission-based precautions
(National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), 2019; Ministry of
Health, 2022a). The primary goal of standard precautions is to prevent the exchange
of blood and body uids (
every consumer throughout the entire encounter, whether or not the consumer has
a known or suspected infectious process.
Standard precautions are the minimum infection control practices that are
practised in all healthcare settings (
control guidelines are published on a living guideline by the National Health and
Medical Research Council (NHMRC, 2019); in New Zealand, the recommendations
for standard precautions (Health Quality & Safety Commission, 2022) include:
> hand hygiene
> personal protective equipment (PPE)
> handling and disposing of sharps
> routine management of the physical environment
> reprocessing of reusable instruments and equipment
> respiratory hygiene and cough etiquette.

CHAPTER 5
Hand hygiene
The single most important infection control practice is effective hand hygiene.
Hand hygiene includes hand washing with soap and water and alcohol-based hand
rub (ABHR). Hand hygiene should be performed according to the ve moments
of hand hygiene (WHO, 2009). Hand washing with soap and water should occur
when hands are visibly dirty, soiled with blood or body uids or after using the
toilet (NHMRC, 2019). In addition, hand washing with soap and water is preferred
following exposure to specic microorganisms (e.g. Clostridium difcile, norovirus)
(NHMRC, 2019). Hand hygiene using ABHR can be used at all other times (WHO,
2009, p. 155).
You must consider the ve moments of hand hygiene during every
physical examination (see Figure 5.3). Some nurses perform hand hygiene in the
examination area with the consumer present. It is a nonthreatening way to start
the physical assessment, and allows the patient time to ask questions concerning
the process. For further information refer to the NHMRC’s Australian guidelines
for the prevention and control of infection in healthcare, 2019, v.11.10 (2021), Living
guideline (NHMRC, 2019).

The NHMRC (2019) supports existing WHO (2022b) guidelines that recommend
the use of an alcohol-based hand rub (see
Figure 5.4), as it is more effective against
most common infectious agents on hands than hand hygiene using plain or
antiseptic soap and water.

Five critical moments of hand washing
Can you remember what the ve critical moments of hand washing are? You might like to refresh your memory through the Hand
Hygiene Australia website: https://www.hha.org.au/hand-hygiene/5-moments-for-hand-hygiene
Figure 5.5 depicts these critical moments. It is based on the ‘Your 5 moments for Hand Hygiene’, World Health Organization.
