or taxing patients. In the comfort of their own homes, viewers can watch a nurse
expert demonstrate the proper techniques for conducting a physical examination. The
nurse examines the head and neck, thorax, arms, abdomen, legs, breasts, rectum and
genitalia of an adult male, then shows viewers how to examine an adult female’s
breasts and genitalia. The video’s clear narration includes practical advice
that will help nurses fine-tune their assessment skills and correctly interpret normal
findings that vary depending upon the patient’s race and gender. A 32-page
booklet gives anatomical landmarks and documentation tips. 60 minutes.

ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS OF PHYSICAL ASSESSMENT
Video Series
This series consists of 2 Videos, describing the techniques needed to assess a
patient and perform an initial exam.
ASN094 1.
ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS OF PHYSICAL ASSESSMENT:
DEMONSTRATING
THE TECHNIQUES
Video
This program demonstrates the essential elements and techniques of physical assessment
needed for initiating basic nursing care. This beginning level assessment can help
the nurse determine whether more in-depth assessments or referrals are necessary. An
added feature of this program is that it illustrates a physical assessment procedure that
conserves energy and saves time. This is accomplished by logically conducting the
exam by location of area examined rather than body system, and by limiting the number of
position changes made by the client. General guidelines, pre-examination procedures,
initial contact observations, examination procedures, post-examination procedures, and
summary of the assessment are discussed in detail. 24 minutes.
ASN095 2.
ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS OF PHYSICAL ASSESSMENT:
CONDUCTING THE EXAM
Video
This program presents a real-time scenario that integrates both the communication and
the technical skills necessary for conducting the basic physical assessment. The
complete verbal interaction between client and nurse is portrayed, allowing the viewer to
focus on the nurse’s dialogue, nonverbal communication patterns, and steps of the
basic assessment. This program includes the techniques and skills depicted in video
1 (ASN094). The instructional guide includes the nurse’s script to provide a
detailed example of nurse/client interaction. 21 minutes.
ASN099
HYPERTENSION AND ITS COMPLICATIONS
Video
This video shows health care providers how to detect, manage and prevent hypertension
complications—quickly and conveniently. Viewers learn the pathophysiology of
hypertension and each potential complication. Animated graphics show how the disease
and its complications affect the body. An overview explains the types of
hypertension, their signs and symptoms, and treatment options. Viewers get complete
information on hypertensive crisis and chronic complications, including cardiac disease,
cerebrovascular disease, peripheral vascular diseases, hypertensive retinopathy, and
hypertensive nephropathy. A 32-page booklet includes reproducible teaching aids, a
glossary, and more. 40 minutes.
