Answers:
Tapping on the stomach, especially over the finger placed on the stomach will help to detect air or fluid in the abdomen!. The test is called percussion, and it is the sign of a good provider checking for abnormal air collection, or fluid in the abdomen!. They will often do the same to the back, to check for fluid collecting in the lungs!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
