When performing abdominal assessment, auscultation should be the second step and begin in the right lower quadrant (where the ileum meets the large intestine, creating more bowel sounds) and proceed clockwise, with the painful quadrant always being auscultated last.

๐จ ABDOMINAL ASSESSMENT made SIMPLE ๐คฏ๐ฉบ๐Added:
We do the auscultation is the second one. And if you guys see we divide the abdomen into four parts. Okay? Right lower, right upper, left upper, left lower quadrants. But I want to know where will you start the auscultation from and why? Right lower quadrant, right? Yes, and that's correct. So usually we start from the right lower quadrant and then we go in the clockwise direction. Okay? Now you guys should know what's the reason for it. So you should know small intestine meets large intestine that ileum part meets the large intestine in right lower quadrant. So that's [music] why we expect that you will hear, you know, where river meets the sea there are more waves. So where small intestine meets the large one, we will have more motion, right? That's what we feel. But there is one golden rule.
Whichever quadrant has the pain should be auscultated last.
