help from nurses- breast & thorax assessment

[onlyj]

I'm in level 1 nursing at a community college. we are having a breast/thorax assessment validation soon. i'm quite nervous because i dont know what to expect. i heard the professors will ask us what we need to ask our patients and show how we would do it. anyone have any helpful hints/websites?

I'm confused, are they not teaching you in practicum how to do this assessment? Do you have a physical assessment book? Have you not practiced the questions to ask and the physical aspects seen in the assessment of the breast/thorax? Do they give you no information but expect you to be tested on it?

Didn't your professors give you the basic information to enable you to prepare for your assessment checkoff?
