doing auscultation and percussion only on the back would be treated as inadequate physical exam...pneumonia in different areas of the lung can be picked up by adequate percussion and auscultation of all the areas.Also the examination has to be done on both sides of chest and at the same level level..... Hope that helps.. Good luck.
