Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The palmar surface of the fingers at the metacarpophalangeal joints,the ball of the hand,and the ulnar surface of the hand best discriminate vibrations,such as a cardiac thrill and fremitus.
The dorsum of the hand is most sensitive to temperature changes in the body.The finger pads are useful in assessing fine tactile discrimination,skin moisture,and texture; the presence of masses,pulsations,edema,and crepitation; and the shape,size,position,mobility,and consistency of organs.Option "d" is not a portion of the hand used in palpation.
