Abdominal Exam - Leslie

Posted: Apr 27th, 2017 - 4:00 pm

I'm kind of new to this and doc has a very thick accent. Sounds like he's saying either "abdomen pulse is soft, non-tender" or "abdomen positive pulse, soft, non-tender". Is either one correct? Thanks for any help!

- I usually hear something like: Obese, soft, nontender, nondistended? - sm (Views: 846, 2017-04-27, 4:14 pm)
  - Thanks, but that's not it. - Leslie (Views: 544, 2017-04-27, 4:31 pm)
    - perhaps you should send to your QA and ask - nm (Views: 493, 2017-04-27, 4:42 pm)
      - And by the way oftentimes we hear things that are not really what is - being said, nm (Views: 464, 2017-04-27, 4:43 pm)
        I have asked - Leslie (Views: 523, 2017-04-27, 4:55 pm)
        I agree, doesn't sound right to me either - sm (Views: 486, 2017-04-27, 4:59 pm)
        What was the purpose in asking, if you're just going to keep typing it - the same way? sm (Views: 500, 2017-04-27, 5:09 pm)
- palpation ? - nm (Views: 513, 2017-04-27, 4:28 pm)
- how about positive bowel sounds since you might hear positive - nm (Views: 548, 2017-04-27, 5:02 pm)
  - I thought about that - Leslie (Views: 745, 2017-04-27, 5:24 pm)
    - My PE usually consists of: Abdomen: Positive bowel sounds. - sm (Views: 675, 2017-04-27, 5:30 pm)
      - I do not usually run together the word abdomen and positive bowel sounds - The abdomen is the header under the PE (Views: 472, 2017-04-27, 5:31 pm)
    - A lot of times I hear positive bowel sounds in all four quadrants - nm (Views: 568, 2017-04-27, 5:34 pm)
