During a skin check, various aspects need to be evaluated:
- Color: Look for changes in skin color, such as redness, pallor, or cyanosis. - Texture: Note any rough, scaly, or thickened areas. - Moisture: Identify excessively dry or moist areas. - Temperature: Check for any unusually warm or cool spots. - Lesions: Observe any cuts, bruises, rashes, or other skin lesions. - Edema: Assess for swelling, which can indicate underlying issues. - Integrity: Ensure there are no breaks or tears in the skin.
