During which part of a comprehensive physical assessment would the nurse auscultate after inspecting but before percussing?

A. In the anterior chest assessment, auscultation usually follows inspection and is typically done before percussion. B. In the neck assessment, the nurse may inspect and then auscultate (e.g., carotid arteries) before palpation. C. In the heart assessment, auscultation follows inspection but may not involve percussion. D. In the abdomen, the correct order is to inspect, auscultate, and then percuss to assess bowel sounds effectively before creating additional disturbances with percussion.
