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."
