Does this make any sense?!?!?!?

so i was doing questions on kaplan and i came across a question that asks the lpn recognizes that physical assessments should be completed in which order. I said the answer was inspection, auscultation, percussion, palpation. but the answer was inspection, palpation, auscultation, percussion. Ok im just confused because for one as a nurse we do not do percussion and why would we palpitate before we auscultate? if you do that then you are stirring up movement right. i would think you would listen first. i dont know maybe its just me... what do u guys think???

    Abd assessment: is position on back with knees flexed look listen and feel.

    LPNs can auscultate.

    Lpns can percuss also. Percussion should be last. I wouldn't palpate then auscultate since texts always say to listen first. Always go with the text book first. I have seen numerous errors in Saunders n Kaplan.
