Examination ofmale genitalia
Always have a chaperone who can reassure the patient and also guard the door. Document name and role in notes. Ask friends and family members to leave, unless the patient wants them to stay (this also provides an op­portunity to ask questions which the patient may not have answered fully with others present). As with any examination it is essential to keep the patient informed about what you are going to do.
Inspection Look for any ulceration (including retracting foreskin and
checking the glans), warts, scars, or sinuses, urethral discharge, tight foreskin (phimosis) or retracted foreskin which is stuck leaving the glans exposed (paraphimosis). Inspect the scrotum for skin changes or oe­dema and, while the patient is standing, the lie of the testes (the left testis usually hangs lower than the right and both testes lie longitudinally— a high testis with a transverse lie may indicate torsion, though a torted testis may also appear normal).
Palpateeach testis in turn between the ngers and the thumb feeling for
texture, tenderness, nodules, and to compare left to right. An absent testis may be maldescended and trapped in the inguinal canal. Examine epididymis and follow it up superiorly to the spermatic cord and up into the inguinal ring. Palpate inguinal lymph nodes or maldescended testis.

OtherVaginal lumps, weight loss, other concerns.
Examination
Always have a chaperone who can reassure the patient and guard the door. Document name and role in notes. Ask accompanying persons to leave, unless the patient wants them to stay (also provides opportunity to ask questions which the patient might not answer fully with others present). It is essential to keep the patient informed about what you are going to do. Start with the patient lying on her back with arms by sides. It is important that you have a good examination lamp. See Fig.3.2.
Abdominal Assess for scars, striae, hernias, body hair distribution, everted
umbilicus, distension, tenderness including loins (± guarding, rebound), masses, organomegaly, percuss (masses, shifting dullness). Ask patient to move feet apart, bend knees, and let legs op outwards. Have a strong light source directed at the vulva and gloves on both hands.
VulvalLook for rashes, ulcers, warts, lumps, or other lesions; spread the
labia majora using your non- dominant thumb and index nger and look for lesions, lumps, discharge (urethral/ vaginal), bleeding; ask the patient to push down (look for prolapse) andcough.
VaginalInsert a well- lubricated index and middle nger (dominant hand)
into the vagina and feel for the cervix, noting the size, shape, consistency, and whether it is mobile or tender. Feel above, below, and to the sides (adnexae) for masses or tenderness. Finally, palpate the uterus by placing your other hand above the pubic symphysis and press down with the ngers at the cervix; pressing up feel for uterine position (anteverted/ retroverted), size, shape, consistency, mobility, and tenderness. Inspect the nger afterwards for blood or discharge.
Contraception
Cusco’s speculum While the patient is in the same position, insert a
Bladder
Pubic bone
well-lubricated and warmed speculum into the vagina. Look at the cervix. If you are unable to visualize the cervix, ask the patient to tilt her pelvis forward by placing her sts under her bottom. Look for ul­ceration, bleeding, cysts or other lesions, and the cervical os. If required take swabs and/ or a cervicalsmear.
ConsiderSims’ speculum (for examining prolapses), rectal examination.

Foetal heart Audible from 2wk using a Doppler ultrasound and 24wk
using a Pinard stethoscope; it is faster than the mother’s (0– 60bpm).
Weight Plot mother’s weight and BMI (E p. 632) at the booking visit
(Table3.4).
Inspection Striae, linea nigra (line of pigmentation from the pubic sym-
physis to the navel that darkens during the st trimester), venous disten­sion, scars, oedema.
Fundal height The fundus (top of the uterus) is palpable from about 2wk
gestation; it should be measured from the top of the pubic symphysis to the top of the fundus with a tape measure. Between 6 and 36wk the fundal height in centimetres should be the same as the gestation ±2cm, eg 23– 27cm at 25wk. Fundal height is unreliable after 36wk. See Fig.3.22.
Foetal lie After 32wk it is possible to assess the position of the foetus by
palpating across the abdomen for the foetalhead:
•
Longitudinal Head palpable in midline
•
Oblique Head palpable in iliacfossa
•
Transverse Head palpable in lateral abdomen.
PresentationPalpation after 32wk can also assess the presentation though
this is liable to change until about 36wk. By palpating both ends of the foetus the position of the head can be determined:
•
Cephalic Head is at thebottom
•
Breech Head is at thetop.
Engagement This is assessed by palpating the base of the uterus above
the pubic symphysis between two hands to assess how much of the presenting part is palpable. If only the top / 5th of the presenting part is palpable the foetus has ‘engaged’.
Blood pressure This must be monitored regularly to assess for pregnancy-
induced iBP; consider urine dipstick and fundoscopytoo.
Urine dipstickFor protein (pre- eclampsia) and glucose(DM).
USSLie, presentation, and engagement can be conrmed onUSS.

Examination
Psychiatrists examine the mind through talking to the patient (Boxes 3.0 and 3.). Much of the information is gleaned while taking the history and should be organized under the following headings. This is called the Mental State Examination(MSE).
Appearance Racial origin, age, dress, make- up, hairstyle, jewellery, tat-
toos, cleanliness, neglect, physical condition.
Behaviour Appropriateness, posture, movement (excessive, slow,
exaggerated), gestures, tics, facial expression, eye contact, anxiety, suspicious­ness, rapport, abnormal movements, aggression, distraction, concentration.
Mood The patient’s subjective assessment of theirmood.
AectInterviewer’s objective assessment of mood and appropriateness
of patient’s response, eg at, reactive, blunted.
Speech form Accent, volume, rate, tone, quantity, hesitations, stuttering;
Content Associations (derailment, changing between subjects),puns.
Thought formRate, ow (eg blocked), connection (eg ight of ideas, derail-
ment);
ContentBeliefs about self, beliefs about others, thought insertion/
withdrawal/ control/ broadcast, beliefs about the world/ future, delusions, overvalued ideas, obsessions, compulsions, ruminations, rituals, phobias.
PerceptionIllusions, hallucinations (visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory), un-
usual experiences, depersonalization, derealization.
Cognition This can be tested formally using the Mini- Mental State
Examination (MMSE) on E p. 385; often the Abbreviated Mental Test Score (AMTS) is used instead (Ep. 383).
Risk Thoughts of deliberate self- harm, suicide, harming others, plans, ac-
quiring equipment, writing notes, previous suicide attempts. Can ‘pro­tective factors’ be identied? Document theseif so. Consider risk both to self and to others.
Insight Awareness of illness and need for treatment.
159PSYCHIATRIC
K Box 3.0 Dening ‘mental illness’
What constitutes abnormal behaviour to the extent of constituting a mental illness can be a controversial and dicult area, subject to al­legations of cultural and political bias and even suggestions of undue pharmaceutical industry inuence. Two main classication systems are accepted:
• The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, produced
by the American Psychiatric Association; the 5th edition (203) is currently in use:DSM- 5
• The International Classication of Diseases, published by the World
Health Organization (covers all of medicine); th edition (209) is currently in use:ICD- .
Each classication carries a slightly dierent emphasis and diagnostic criteria; in rare instances, this results in an abnormal condition recog­nized in one, but not theother.

Neonatal examination
The baby check is a key component of life in paediatrics. All neonates should be examined within 72h of birth with the aimof:
• Identifying unwell babies (tone and respiratory rate very important)
• Identifying abnormalities (especially reversibleones).
Preparation Prior to the examination you should check the maternal
notes for: signicant maternal illness, gestation at birth, birthweight, type of delivery, problems at delivery (meconium, premature rupture of mem­branes (PROM), group B strep, low APGAR scores: appearance, pulse, grimace, activity, respiration).
IntroductionIntroduce yourself to the mother/ parents, oer congratu-
lations and explanation. Has the baby passed faeces and urine? Feeding well? Any parental concerns? Ask them to undress the baby to thenappy.
$ Settledbaby Consider doing the following rst as they are di-
cult if the baby is crying:listening to the heart and feeling the apex beat, count RR, feeling the femoral pulse, and looking in theeyes.
$ Cryingbaby Try getting the baby to suck (pacier, breast, bottle,
parent’s little nger, your little nger); if this fails, swaddle the baby and ask the parents to give the baby a feed then return in30min.
Overall Take a few moments just to look; is the baby:jaundiced, blue,
dysmorphic, moving normally, breathing normally?
Neuro To ne (Degree of head support, spontaneous symmetrical limb
movements), Moro reex is not routinely performed.
Head Anterior and posterior fontanelle (bulging, sunken), head circum-
ference, eyes red reex (red ag if absent), face (dysmorphic?), ear shape and position (tags, pits, top of insertion of pinna should be at the level of the eyes), palate (with your little nger), suck reex.
Hands/ armsFingers (number, shape, colour), palms (single crease in
60% of Down’s and % of non- Down’s), symmetrical arm movement.
ChestRespiratory rate (RR >60 is abnormal), listen to the heart, apex
beat, gently feel the clavicles for fractures.
Abdo Palpate (to exclude hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, masses), des-
cended testes, patent anus, enlarged clitoris, femoral pulses.
Hips/ feet Anterior hip creases (symmetrical?), Barlow test (ex hip to
90°, press posteriorly, feel for a click/ clunk if the hip dislocates), Ortolani test (after Barlow’s abduct the hips one at a time while pressing on the greater trochanter with your middle nger, feel for a click/ clunk as the hip relocates), note repetition of these tests can cause hip instability, ankles (talipes, correctable or not), toes (number, shape, colour).
Turn baby overSpine (straight), sacrum (lumps, dimples, hair tufts, skin
defects), buttocks (blue spots— make a note), posterior hip creases.
