Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Overall assessment of the orthopaedic patient can be enhanced when the nurse has knowledge of abdominal assessment, including an understanding of abdominal anatomy, history taking, and physical assessment. The assessment process should culminate in the appropriate documentation of the nurse's findings. This article provides a concrete, thorough overview of the nursing assessment of the abdomen.
