Using a stethoscope on a child involves several steps:
1. Calm the Child: Ensure the child is calm and comfortable. Explain the procedure in simple terms. 2. Positioning: Position the child either sitting or lying down based on the area of the body you need to examine. 3. Auscultation: Place the chest piece on the appropriate area and listen for any abnormal sounds. Move the chest piece around to different locations to get a comprehensive assessment.
