Inspection involves a systematic observation of the client, which makes it the most appropriate choice for this question. Auscultation involves listening to body sounds (e.g. heart sounds) with a stethoscope, palpation involves using touch to feel for abnormalities (e.g. a lump or tenderness), and percussion involves tapping the body to assess underlying structures (e.g. to assess for fluid in the lungs).
