Hi im a medic student just finishing up my first semester. I have a question regarding trauma assessment mainly your initial assessment. When assessing breathing during your initial assessment do you auscultate breath sounds or just palpate for symmetry listen and count respirations? one of our instructors said that we had to auscultate in our initial assessment but the 3 or 4 other times we practiced we did that while reassessing. we are testing on this skill saturday and have our first semester written final on Monday. thanks for answers in advance
