Explanation
After taking a history, the next stage of the clinical process is physical examination. This involves inspecting the patient's body for any visible abnormalities or signs, palpating (feeling) different areas of the body to assess for tenderness, swelling, or masses, auscultating (listening) to the sounds produced by the body using a stethoscope, and using percussion (tapping) to assess the density of underlying structures. Physical examination helps the healthcare provider gather objective information about the patient's condition, which can aid in making a diagnosis or determining the appropriate course of action.
