I remember palpation being used in physical exams, so I’m leaning towards that being the correct answer.

I’m a bit confused. I thought postural assessments involved looking at the client’s stance, not touching them.

I feel like we had a practice question on this, and I think it was definitely not visual or subjective. Palpation sounds right.

I think the answer might be palpation, but I'm not completely sure. I remember it being about feeling for abnormalities.

Wait, is it visual assessment? I'm second-guessing myself now. I know we talked about different types of assessments, but I'm drawing a blank on the specific terminology. I'll have to make an educated guess on this one.

Okay, I've got this. Palpation is when you use your hands to physically examine the client, so that has to be the right answer. I feel confident about selecting option B.

Definitely palpation. That's the one where you use your hands to feel the client's body and get information. Easy peasy!

Haha, I bet the answer is visual assessment. I'm just kidding, that would be way too easy. It's probably palpation.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. Is it postural assessment? I know we need to check the client's posture sometimes.
