Week 3: Neurologic, Musculoskeletal, and Cardiopulmonary Assessment
11 unread reply.6464 replies.
Using a friend, family member, or colleague, perform a neurovascular (include all cranial nerves),
musculoskeletal, and cardiopulmonary (includes the heart, lungs, and peripheral vasculature) exam.
Document the physical examination findings in the SOAP note format.
Even though your patient may have abnormal findings, you must document the expected normal exam
findings for the system. If you would like to include the abnormal findings they should be noted in
parenthesis next to the normal expected findings. The complete subjective and objective sections must
be included. You may include the assessment and plan portion of the SOAP note, but these sections will
not be graded.
You should devise a chief complaint so that you may document the OLDCART (HPI) data. You must use
the chief complaint of headache, back pain, and cough. You should also focus the ROS based on the
patient’s chief complaint and the body systems being examined. Refer to the SOAP Note Format
document in Course Resources as necessary. This will be the same format that faculty will follow during
the immersion weekend.
* There are videos of the exams to be performed at immersion in Modules → Introduction
and Resources→ Immersion section. Also the immersion evaluation forms are located in the
Course Resources section. They should be reviewed and practiced often.

Class, Welcome to week Three! This week, we are focusing on neurological, musculoskeletal and
,cardiopulmonary exams. Please follow the discussion question and grading rubric closely, I have also
posted additional helpful guidance. Please remember what goes in the ROS (Subjective) vs. the Physical
Exam (Objective).
Here are the following course outcomes to assist in focusing this week:
,3: Demonstrate knowledge required to perform a focused health history and examination for
developmental, gender-related, age-specific, and special populations. (PO 1, 5)
6: Differentiate normal from abnormal findings. (PO 1, 4)
8: Adapt history and physical examination to the needs of the patient, i.e., pediatric versus geriatric
patient (PO 1,4,7)
Class, I wish to give some extra guidance to practicing, performing the assessments and posting your
assessment for Neurological, Musculoskeletal and Cardiopulmonary systems. These systems should
include detail of what all findings (normal or if your patient is with abnormal findings) would include for
each of the assigned systems.
When assessing the neurological system one area for example of detail would be cranial nerves which
should include listing each one of them with some identification that shows that you know the
assessment test for each cranial nerve. This detail should also be applied to other aspects of the
Neurological examination such as finger to nose, heel to shin test, reflexes, level of consciousness,
motor function etc…many more to include…please refer to both texts for other areas to be included.
Cranial Nerve example (not all inclusive): no deficit to sense of smell (Olfactory CN1) upon the patient
patent nares through ability of sniffing bilateral nares, able to identify odors such as coffee and
peppermint.
For Musculoskeletal, it goes beyond inclusion of range of motion and should include all maneuvers that
show no deficits/deficits (upper and lower extremities, cervical spine- as well as other aspects of the
MS exam).
MS example (not all inclusive): ballottement, bulge sign, phalen test, ROM all areas (with degrees),
McMurray, valgus, drawer, noted or not noted Genu varum etc…..please refer to both texts for other
areas to be included.
Cardiovascular example (not all inclusive): physical exam to the thorax, lungs, and vascular system. Many
of you will be more comfortable with these areas because you have been wielding a stethoscope for
some time. However, learning things like whispered pectoriloquy and broncophony (not all inclusive
items to include) take practice.
Please ensure to read assigned readings and watch the video for this week. Doing this assignment in
such detail will help at Immersion weekend when you have to show knowledge of these assessments
and how to perform each test!
Note about diagnosis/differential diagnoses: the primary diagnosis should be included in the assessment
while if there are any other differential diagnoses being considered; students should list them in the
treatment plan.
