exposure of the patient in the abdominal examination must be so that the full extent of the abdomen can be seen i.e. uncover the patient from nipples to knees.
patients may find the examination procedure embarrassing - this can be countered by covering the parts not being actively examined at any particular time.
the complete examination involves examination of covered areas such as the genitalia and hernial orifice.
