[MUSIC] Hello, my name is doctor ...................... And I will be demonstrating a physical examination for the NR509 advanced physical assessment course.

Then I will palpate her occipital lymph nodes in the back of the head. And then I'm gonna move forward and palpate the tonsillar lymph nodes.
