Observation is conducted using a combination of techniques:
Visual Inspection: Looking for physical signs such as skin color, swelling, or wounds. Palpation: Feeling the body for abnormalities like lumps or tenderness. Auscultation: Listening to internal body sounds, such as heartbeats or lung sounds, using a stethoscope. Patient Interviews: Asking the patient about their symptoms, pain levels, and overall well-being.
