About Physical Examination
GoConqr OriginalWhat this unit covers
The page follows the examination from first contact to individual body systems. The Vital signs mind map sets out respiratory rate, oxygen saturations, blood pressure, heart rate and temperature. The General survey mind map and the quiz on general examination of patients cover habitus, gait and posture. From there you can move to the heart, lungs, abdomen, limbs, skin, eyes, head and neck.
Where to start
Begin with the basics: the Vital signs mind map, then the General Examination Formative Self Assessment Quiz SB5 Questions, which asks which side of the stethoscope suits low pitched sounds. Next, choose one system at a time.
- Cardiovascular: the Cardiovascular Examination mind map, then the Heart Murmurs quiz, which asks you to name a murmur from its location, radiation and duration.
- Respiratory: the Respiratory Examination mind map and the THORAX AND LUNGS map, which covers breathing patterns such as Cheyne-Stokes and Biot's respiration.
- Abdominal and musculoskeletal: the abdominal and GI examination decks, then the notes on the hip, hand and wrist, and GALS.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a mind map first, then test yourself on the matching quiz. Wrong answers show you which branch to revisit. Flashcard decks such as Cardiovascular examination and Respiratory examination are good for quick repeat practice. The Cardiovascular OSCE stations mind map and the OSCE flashcard deck suit those preparing for practical assessments.
The PACES Questions deck is different: it asks about the causes of chronic liver disease, the investigations to start and the signs of decompensation. It suits candidates who already know the basic routines.
Where it fits
This unit sits in the strand Foundations of Clinical Practice and Semiology, within Internal medicine, pathology and clinical semiology. Symptom maps such as Breathlessness, Chest pain and Swelling In The Leg link what patients report to what you examine.
Open any resource, work through it at your own pace, and add your own maps or flashcards where the page leaves a gap.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I start with?
Start with the Vital signs mind map, then try the General Examination Formative Self Assessment Quiz SB5 Questions. They cover the measurements and general observations that come before any system-based exam. After that, pick the system you find hardest, such as cardiovascular or respiratory.
What do the mind maps cover?
There are over 160 mind maps. They cover vital signs, the general survey, heart auscultation, breath sounds, pulses and abdominal examination. Others start from symptoms such as breathlessness, chest pain, leg swelling and change in bowel habit, so you can link complaints to examination findings.
Are these resources suitable for OSCE practice?
Yes. The listed resources mention OSCE, and you will find the Cardiovascular OSCE stations mind map and an OSCE flashcard deck. The page is aimed at university students and professional candidates, so the examination routines suit practical assessment revision. Use the quizzes to check recall afterwards.
Do I need to pay or sign up to use them?
No. Every resource on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. If you want to save quiz scores or make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes, you can create a free account.
Who made these resources?
They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. Over 220 contributors have added quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes, so styles and depth vary. Teachers can browse them for ready-made material and check the content against their own course.
What if I cannot find a topic I need?
Try the neighbouring resources first. Many systems appear as a mind map, a deck and a quiz, such as the abdominal examination ones. If a topic is still missing, you can make your own mind map, flashcards or notes and use them alongside the listed material.
