Perform systematic physical examinations using inspection, palpation, percussion, and auscultation techniques
Identify normal and abnormal findings across major body systems (cardiovascular, respiratory, abdominal, neurological)
Select and use appropriate examination tools (stethoscope, otoscope, reflex hammer, etc.) correctly
Document physical assessment findings using standardized clinical formats
Integrate examination results with patient history to form comprehensive clinical judgments
Clients on disulfiram therapy (alcohol-aversion therapy) must carefully avoid all alcohol-containing products, including medications like cough syrups, personal care items such as mouthwash, aftershave and perfume, household items like vinegar and cooking wines, and topical compounds including rubbing alcohol. Reading ALL product labels is important, as even tiny amounts of alcohol can trigger severe reactions like nausea, vomiting, headache, and respiratory distress.
