Thorax, Heart, Breast and Axillae Script

This document provides instructions for performing a physical examination of the chest, heart, and breasts. Key steps include inspecting the shape and symmetry of the chest and spine, palpating the chest wall for vibrations and excursion, percussing the lungs to assess resonance, auscultating breath sounds over the lungs, inspecting and palpating the precordium and heart sounds, and examining the breasts and lymph nodes for abnormalities. The exam assesses respiratory function, cardiac function, and checks for signs of breast disease.
