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.

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.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know we've covered different assessment techniques, but I can't quite remember the specific term for using your hands to evaluate a client. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I'm pretty sure this is asking about a palpation assessment, where you physically touch the client to evaluate their condition. That seems like the most logical answer here.

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.

No, it's not postural assessment. Think about touching the client to feel for any abnormalities.
