  1. FNP Clinical Question.. What do you actually do during a physical exam?

    shurtlea posted a topic in Advanced Practice
    Hi all, So i'm a new FNP. I've been working for about 6 months now.. As many of you all know, it's very difficult, if not impossible, to do a comprehensive physical exam in 15 minutes. I'm curious to know what the others out there do as far as physical exams. I know many of them are focused, depending on each patient, but let's hypothetically say you have a healthy patient coming in for a physical. I would love to see a sample of what exam items you include/exclude. For an example, does everyone do reflexes? If so, which ones? Cranial nerves? Do you check ears on everyone? Pulses? I'd love to know what everyone's REALISTIC physical exams are like. Also, how does this change for your peds patients (school age, not infants of course). Thank you in advance!
