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 benet 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. Inthe 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, wecan 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 signicance 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 signicant 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 articial 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 PHYSICALEXAMINATION
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. identication 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 immunodeciency 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 specic microorganisms (e.g. Clostridium difcile, 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.
