The correct sequence for abdominal examination techniques is Inspection first, followed by auscultation to assess bowel sounds, then palpation to assess tenderness or masses, and finally percussion to assess for any fluid or distension. This sequence allows for the most accurate assessment of the abdomen without causing discomfort to the patient. Therefore, option B (Inspection, auscultation, palpation, percussion) is the correct choice.
