Do I have to tell the examiner when I am performing skin turgor assessment or assessing peripheral pulses?
You do not have to verbalize what you are doing to the examiner, however, study guide pg 152 states: Since the assessment of hydration status may be done unobtrusively, be obvious in your actions when performing this assessment and verbalize your findings to alert the CE that you are completing the critical elements. The same is true for pulses.
