    The head to toes assessments. One needs to perform hand hygiene before you start.
    First
    Inspect
    Palpate
    Percuss
    Auscultate
    These steps are changed when ever you start from the stomach.
    Inspect
    Ascultate because it can alter the bales sounds
    Percuss
    Palpate
    So after performing hand hygiene. You will talk with the patient by introducing yourself and explaining what you'll be doing. Ask him or her questions like the name date of birth, where he lives and any current affairs it's all to help you the nurse to collect information

  • The discussion was direct and accurate, gave us important notes we should take for aspects that may barely be noticed by us in the process; it is an impressive assessment video overall. I learned a lot about the basics. Thank you so much.
