Examination of the Lymph Nodes - Clinical Examination

Clinical examination of the lymph nodes includes inspection and palpation of all clinically relevant major lymph node groups. Clinically relevant lymph nodes are located in the head and neck, the axillae, and the inguinal area. Palpable lymph nodes should be assessed for size, tenderness, mobility, and erythema. A complete examination of the lymph nodes also includes the palpation of the spleen, which is considered a major lymphatic organ.

Thank you, very cool.

[@NevadasMinistry]

Nice and concise. Axillary nodes can be conveniently palpated with the patient's arm resting on the examiner's forearm.

[@zindabamwape560]

I think the reason they initially did it with the hand raised was just to show where exactly to palpate. And they clearly stated it should be done with the arm relaxed.
