-Use adequate lighting.
-Use direct lighting to inspect body cavities.
-Inspect each area for size, shape, color, symmetry, position, and abnormality.
-Position and expose body parts as needed so all surfaces can be viewed but privacy can be maintained.
-When possible, check for symmetry.
-Validate findings with the patient.
[-To inspect, carefully look, listen, and smell to distinguish normal from
abnormal findings.
-Recognize normal and abnormal.
-Inspection is the simplest of the five assessment skills.
[Ask the class: Why is olfaction an important part of your assessment? Discuss: Olfaction helps to detect abnormalities that cannot be recognized by any other means. For example, when a patient's breath has a sweet, fruity odor, assess for signs of diabetes.]
[Table 30-4 [on text p. 493] provides a list of characteristic odors and the conditions that they may indicate.]]
