The correct order for abdominal assessment is inspection, auscultation, percussion, and palpation. Inspection is done first to assess for any visible abnormalities. Auscultation is then done to listen for bowel sounds. Percussion is done next to identify areas of tenderness or abnormal fluid or gas accumulation. Palpation is done last as it is the most invasive part of the assessment and can cause discomfort or alter bowel sounds if done earlier.
