Activity 4: Clinical Pharmacy & Pharmacotherapeutics 2

This document summarizes an activity on physical assessment techniques. It illustrates various equipment used in physical exams like otoscope, opthalmoscope, sphygmomanometer, glucometer, stethoscope, and describes their uses. It lists normal ranges for vital signs like temperature, pulse rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate. The activity also measures height, weight, and BMI of group members to assess if they are underweight, normal, overweight or obese. Finally, it demonstrates techniques like inspection, palpation, percussion, and auscultation and their purposes in physical exams.

ACTIVITY 4

Clinical Pharmacy & Pharmacotherapeutics 2


Familar, Hannah
Madera, Kryzillah
Pantinople, Mary Joy
Relox, Krizzabel
Tanga-an, Kyla Cydrine
OBJECTIVES:
Illustrate the equipments used for physical
01 assessment.

To identify the purpose of the four main techniques


02 used in physical assessment.

03 To determine the normal ranges of vital signs.


A. lllustrate or paste a picture of the following equipment used for physical assessment. State
their corresponding uses.

Uses:
a tool which shines a beam of light to help visualize and examine the
condition of the ear canal and eardrum. Examining the ear can reveal the
cause of symptoms such as an earache, the ear feeling full, or hearing
loss.

Uses:
used to detect and evaluate symptoms of retinal detachment or eye
diseases such as glaucoma. Ophthalmoscopy may also be done if you
have signs or symptoms of high blood pressure, diabetes, or other
diseases that affect the blood vessels.
Uses:
a instrument for measuring blood pressure. It consists of an inflatable
rubber cuff, which is wrapped around the upper arm and is connected to an
apparatus that records pressure, usually in terms of the height of a column
of mercury or on a dial (an aneroid manometer).

Uses:
A blood glucose meter is a small, portable machine that's used to measure
how much glucose (a type of sugar) is in the blood (also known as the blood
glucose level). People with diabetes often use a blood glucose meter to help
them manage their condition
Uses:
a medical instrument used in listening to sounds produced within the
body, chiefly in the heart or lungs.

Uses:
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the body uses a powerful
magnetic field, radio waves and a computer to produce detailed pictures of
the inside of your body. It may be used to help diagnose or monitor
treatment for a variety of conditions within the chest, abdomen, and pelvis.
Uses:
used to diagnose and treat a wide range of knee problems. During knee
arthroscopy, your surgeon inserts a small camera, called an arthroscope,
into your knee joint. The camera displays pictures on a video monitor, and
your surgeon uses these images to guide miniature surgical instruments.

Uses:
used to check for glaucoma, an eye disease that can cause
blindness by damaging the nerve in the back of the eye (optic
nerve)
Uses:
used to find cancerous cells or abnormal cells that can become cancerous
in the cervix, vagina, or vulva.

Uses:
use to collect tissue samples (biopsy) to test for diseases and
conditions, such as anemia, bleeding, inflammation, diarrhea or
cancers of the digestive system.
B. Write the normal values of the following Vital Signs

TEMPERATURE: Average: 97 F (36.1 C) and 99F (37.2 C)


ORAL: 97.6°F (36.44 C) - 99.6°F (37.56 C)
AXILLARY: 96.6°F (35.89 C) - 98.6°F (37 C)
RECTAL: 98.6°F (37 C) - 100.6°F (38.11 C)

PULSE RATE (PR): 60 to 100 beats per minute

BLOOD PRESSURE (BP): 120/80 mmHg or less

RESPIRATORY RATE (RR): 12 to 20 breaths per minute


IDEAL BODY WEIGHT (IBW):
MALE
FEMALE
ADJUSTED BODY WEIGHT (ABW):

BODY MASS INDEX (BMI):


HEALTHY
OVERWEIGHT
OBESE
C. Choose five among your groupmates and measure the height and weight of your
groupmates. Compute their corresponding BMI and assess your groupmates if they are
underweight, normal, overweight or obese.

Groupmate’s Name Height Weight BMI Interpretation BMI is a calculation


(m2) (kg) based on the height and
1. Mary Joy C. Pantinople 1.6m2 81.20kg 31.72 Obesity class I weight of the patient.
2. Kryzillah Madera 1.57m2 53kg 21.50 Normal weight BMI= Weight (kg)
3. Kyla Cydrine Tanga-an 1.63m2 51kg 19.19 Normal weight Height (m2)
4. Hannah Familar 1.55m2 58kg 24.14 Normal weight
BMI= Weight (kg)
5. Krizzabel Relox 1.57m2 92kg 37.32 Obesity class II x70
Height (in) 3
D. Illustrate or paste a picture of the following various techniques of Physical Exam. State the
purpose of the different techniques.

• It is the first step in every physical


examination of a patient.
• It provides objective physical data
leading to accurate diagnoses and
treatment.

• Elicits important information regarding the


position, size, shape, consistency, and mobility
of the normal anatomic.
• Uncovers crucial clues to the presence of
abnormalities such as enlarged organs and
palpable masses.
• May be effective in assessing fluid within a
space.
• It involves striking the body’s surface lightly,
but sharply, to determine the position, size,
and density of the underlying structures as
well as to detect fluid or air in a cavity.

• It is the skill of listening either directly with


the ear or indirectly with a stethoscope to
sounds that arise spontaneously from the
body.
At the end of this activity, we are able to illustrate the various equipment
used for physical assessment, as well as their respective uses and
appearance.
We also identified the purpose of the four main physical assessment
techniques, which is primarily for medical professionals to collect important
data that will allow them to evaluate individuals' health and identify any
problems or concerns. Finally, we determined the normal ranges of vital
signs, which are listed above, and their importance in checking patients'
health and determining whether a patient is developing a chronic health
condition.
