Answer:

"Sight - Healthcare team members need to pay attention to the patient’s appearance and look for details such as skin color (i.e. does the patient look pale or sickly?), rashes or sores, unusual swelling, etc.

Smell - The human body produces a lot of strong smells, and health care workers will be very aware of this. However, they also need to have a nose for unusual odors. Severe bad breath or body odor can indicate health problems, for example. In addition, a patient who smells of urine or feces but says he or she is fine may be trying to hide an embarrassing health problem or this could be a sign that he or she can no longer adequately manage basic daily tasks.

Touch - Many routine examinations involve touch, especially feeling for anything abnormal or unusual. Paying attention to whether the skin is dry or unusually sweaty can also provide clues to a patient’s condition.

Hearing - Listening to patients is probably the most common way healthcare workers use hearing, although they also listen to bodily sounds, like heartbeats and coughs."

Well your basic senses are going to be, taste, touch, olfaction (smell), visual perception (seeing), hearing...


Obviously your not going to taste a patients conditions. So moving on to touch. You can feel a bruise or a spot where they indicate pain to tell if their hurt or not. Now unless they aren’t very hygienic then you can’t really “smell” a persons condition. Visual perception you can see if they are in pain or bleeding or even dying by looking at the patient. Now for hearing you can listen to what their telling you. If their hurt their going to tell you exactly what’s wrong bc they obviously want help!

Good luck!! Hope this helped!
