Abstract:
The clinical breast examination is a critical exam for early detection of breast cancer. Assessment methods are needed to determine competency and skill mastery for experts and novices. The 3D sensor was developed to capture hand shear and normal forces conducted during an exam. Trials were conducted to record exploratory maneuvers used during the exam. The sensor system was found to be a reliable method for capturing exploratory maneuvers.

Assessment of the Cardiovascular System III: Palpation
Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) Measurement
Position the patient at a thirty- to forty-five-degree angle or in a semi-fowler's position. Look for the highest point of pulsation in the internal jugular vein and measure the vertical distance to the angle of Loius or sternal angle. A normal JVP is 3-4 cm above...
Assessment of the Abdomen III: Palpation
Assessment of apical radial pulse
The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.
