After percussing the abdomen, light palpation should be performed. Keeping your hand and forearm on a horizontal plane, with fingers together and flat on the abdominal wall, palpate the abdomen with a light gentle dipping motion. As you move your hand to different quadrants, raise it just off the skin. Gliding smoothly, palpate in all four quadrants. Identify any superficial organs, masses or hernias and any area of tenderness or increased resistance to palpation. If resistance is present, try to distinguish voluntary guarding from involuntary guarding or rigidity. Involuntary guarding or rigidity suggests: Biliary colic Peritonitis Constipation Hernia
