Teaching Percussion

Published

Specializes in Gerontological, cardiac, med-surg, peds.

Pleximeter and plexor, percussion notes, resonance, hyperresonance, and dullness. Am practicing percussion notes on my husband. :eek: Will need to teach this technique of respiratory assessment for the first time to my ADN students in a lab-type environment. Any suggestions for this novice instructor would be most welcome!:kiss

Vicky - at the moment I do not have access to sound on this computer but would the rale laboratory website be of any use??? It is listed along with a couple of others over on the student nurse forum website sticky

percussion hammer...it helps students to hear the sounds loudly so they can differentiate. Hope this helps.

Thanks, Barb, I will hunt one up. Probably one of the doctors' offices in the area has one.
