Palpation is an assessment technique where the nurse uses the hands to feel texture, temperature, moisture, organ size and location, vibrations, pulsations, tenderness, pain, swelling, or lumps. Through touch, the nurse gathers objective data about the body's surface and underlying structures. Light palpation assesses surface characteristics, while deep palpation assesses internal organs and masses. It is a critical skill for detecting abnormalities that may not be visible.
