Using the sense of touch, palpation evaluates the texture, temperature, wetness, position, and size of the organs as well as any swelling, vibration or pulsation, rigidity or spasticity, crepitation, presence of lumps or masses, and presence of tenderness or discomfort.

So the technique that the nurse will use to assess the crepitus, swelling and pulsations is option A, i.e., Palpation.

Inspection, palpation, percussion, and auscultation are necessary abilities for the physical examination. The talents are carried out sequentially, one at a time (with the exception of the abdominal assessment, during which auscultation takes place before palpation and percussion).

Each body system's evaluation starts with a visual inspection. A thorough examination requires time but produces a surprising amount of data. The cracking sound made when two bones scrape against one another is called crepitus.

The enlargement of a tissue as a result of an illness or injury is swelling.
