hepatic percussion
murphys sign
deep palpation

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Carnett's Test involves having the patient tense the abdominal muscles (e.g., by lifting the head or legs) and then palpating the abdomen. If the pain increases when the muscles are tensed, it may indicate a musculoskeletal cause of abdominal pain. Hepatic percussion is used to estimate the size of the liver. Murphy's Sign is elicited during an examination for cholecystitis, where the patient is asked to take a deep breath while the examiner palpates the right upper quadrant; pain on inspiration is a positive sign. Deep palpation is a general examination technique where the examiner presses deeply into the abdomen to assess internal organs. In the image, the patient appears to be tensing the abdominal muscles (as in Carnett's Test).
