What are the six examination techniques?

What are the six examination techniques? 38.7 The six examination methods used in a general physical exam include inspection, auscultation, palpation, percussion, mensuration, and manipulation. Why is palpation an important assessment tool? Palpation is an important part of the physical examination; the sense of touch is just as important in this examination as the sense […]

What is resistant to change?

What is resistant to change? Resistance to change is the opposition to altered circumstances or modification of the status quo. Employees may resist change when they haven’t been briefed on the reasons for the change or the thinking behind the decision-making. Listening to employee concerns and ideas will help reduce resistance to change. How do […]

Can wax change without changing state?

Can wax change without changing state? In physical changes no new materials are formed and the particles do not change apart from gaining or losing energy. Melted wax solidifies when cooled but unless it is shaped or moulded it will not be the same shape as at the start. Is melting wax reversible or irreversible? […]

How much does 12 inches of snow weigh?

How much does 12 inches of snow weigh? To calculate the weight of snow, you take 7.48 gallons of per cubic foot of water, which is about 62.4 pounds. You then divide it by the amount of snow (in inches). Light and fluffy snow weigh the least. If it snows 12” of light and fluffy […]

What is an example of energy and matter?

What is an example of energy and matter? A raindrop falling from the sky is made of matter (water), plus it has potential, kinetic, and thermal energy. A lit light bulb is made of matter, plus it emits energy in the form of heat and light. The wind consists of matter (gases in air, dust, […]

How do you know if something is acidic or basic?

How do you know if something is acidic or basic? To determine whether a substance is an acid or a base, count the hydrogens on each substance before and after the reaction. If the number of hydrogens has decreased that substance is the acid (donates hydrogen ions). If the number of hydrogens has increased that […]

What is the difference between permeability and susceptibility?

What is the difference between permeability and susceptibility? Permeability is the measure of the resistance of a material against the formation of a magnetic field. A closely related property of materials is magnetic susceptibility, which is a dimensionless proportionality factor that indicates the degree of magnetization of a material in response to an applied magnetic […]
