Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct sequence for a joint examination typically starts with inspection (5) to observe for any abnormalities, followed by palpation (1) to feel for any irregularities. This is then followed by assessing the passive range of motion (2), range of motion against gravity (4), and finally, range of motion against resistance (3) to fully evaluate the joint's function and integrity.
