This document outlines the technique and process for a physical examination of a patient named Anjana Thomas. It describes the steps of inspection, palpation using light and deep techniques, percussion using direct and indirect methods, and auscultation of various body systems. Abnormal findings included cheilosis, herpes simplex, candidiasis, and glossitis. The examination also assessed the respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, renal, reproductive, musculoskeletal, and nervous systems, including checks of various reflexes and cranial nerves.
