A head-to-toe assessment involves a systematic approach to examining the entire body. This includes:
Head and neck: Check for any abnormalities, inspect eyes, ears, nose, and throat. Chest: Auscultate heart and lung sounds, check for any respiratory distress. Abdomen: Inspect, auscultate, palpate, and percuss the abdomen for abnormalities. Extremities: Check for circulation, movement, and sensation. Skin: Inspect for any lesions, rashes, or pressure ulcers.
This comprehensive assessment helps in identifying any issues that may need further attention.
