doubt abt pneumonia case..... - manojkumarpilla - ArchivalUser - 09-05-2009
Hi,
in the encounter with the SP with Pneumonia for example......
U are going to do physical exam and of course u won't find nothing because the SP is in real life health...no??
and then my question is...........In the PN I will write in the physical exam resp like normal or i need to put something like rubs or crackles to give strong my diagnostic for pneumonia????
Please tell me if we can write as if nothing is heard abnormal on auscultation,or on palpation even when the SP is pretending pain in thearea of left lung....
