Abnormal
Finding
An abnormal Finding is an act of describing the condition, state, or behavior that is different or unusual from what is considered to be normal. Notably, abnormal growth or lesion in the body may be benign premalignant, precancerous, and malignant. Abnormal findings involve the use of observations, percussion, auscultation, or percussion. The information obtained during these findings should be thoughtfully incorporated with the history of the patient and their pathophysiology. Additionally, it is considered a unique situation where both physicians and patients understand that the interaction is conducted therapeutic and diagnostic.
There are several steps involved while assessing signs and symptoms in abnormal; findings. The first part of the assessment includes data collection of the crucial signs like respiratory rate, temperature, pain level, age, and blood pressure. The second part of the assessment of the symptoms involves a physical exam. For example, the abnormal findings of cardiovascular will include heart sounds, the presence of swelling, coolness, and pulse irregularities. The abnormal findings affect several parts of the body, including the heart, skin, and other parts being assessed (Bastani et al., .2004). As a result of interventions that target individual patients’ levels in new medications and dose change, the patient’s quality of life improves.
