Assessing the Thorax and Lungs- Nursing Skills:

In this lesson we’re going to look at assessment of the thorax and lungs, so specifically we’re looking at things related to the respiratory system. It’s important to note here that you have to assess the lungs and thorax front AND back, so we’ll show you both the anterior assessment and posterior assessment. We’ll speed it up a bit for time-sake. We love you guys! Go out and be your best selves today! And, as always, happy nursing!

Great video! It would be helpful if you had the patient standing so the back can be seen.

It would be helpful when the nurse was assessing the back of the patient to show the view from the back.
