But what to write in PN about liver span if we havnt measured it? Coz in many cases liver span is a relevant exam eg chronic hepatitis, jaundice etc. Plus we need to mark a point on SP chest for measuring liver span. That will again be a prob.
Yes you can mention that in a relevant case, by saying liver span is normal (percussion & deep palliation).
