Chest

Now I am going to examine your chest, for that I need to untie you gown, is that ok with you?
(transition)

Now I am looking at your chest for any visible changes (inspection)

Now I am going to check movement of your lungs with my hands, please take some deep breaths
(chest expansion)

Now I am going to place heel of my hand on your chest, plz say 99 (tactile fremitus)

Now I am going to tap for any excessive air of fluid ( percussion)

Now I am going to listen to your lungs, please take some deep breaths, in and out, in and out!
(auscultation)
I am done with your chest exam, let me help you with your gown
