The head-to-toe assessment in nursing is an important physical health assessment that you'll be performing as a nursing student and nurse.

Head-to-toe assessments allow nurses to assess the health status of patients by following a checklist of criteria.

On the job, your head-to-toe nursing assessment will be performed much faster, and it may be different or more specialized to accommodate the patients' needs within your nursing specialty.

This assessment represents a general assessment checklist (or cheat sheet) that you might encounter in nursing school. (Note: Always follow your instructor's requirements or your employer's assessment protocols).

This nursing head-to-toe examination video guide will focus on the following areas/skills:

-Vital Signs (pulse rate, respiration rate, temperature, oxygen saturation, blood pressure, pain assessment)

Nursing students practice their skills on mannequins and each other in the Nursing Skills Lab.

Excerpt from my Normal Skin Histology video: https://kikoxp.com/posts/3660.

A complete organized library of all my videos, digital slides, pics, & sample pathology reports is available here: https://kikoxp.com/posts/5084 (dermpath) & https://kikoxp.com/posts/5083 (bone/soft tissue sarcoma pathology).

Please check out my Soft Tissue Pathology & Dermatopathology survival guide textbooks: http://bit.ly/2Te2haB ‬

Also, in the past I used "keratinocyte" and "squamous cell" interchangeably (this is because in dermatopathology, we see and talk about squamous cell carcinomas all the time, and those tumors are composed of keratinocytes). But technically, in normal skin histology, "squamous cell" refers only to the flattened keratinocytes in the superficial epidermis. Thankfully, a histology PhD colleague pointed this out to me and corrected my lazy nomenclature!

This video is geared towards medical students, pathology or dermatology residents, or practicing pathologists or dermatologists. Of course, this video is for educational purposes only and is not formal medical advice or consultation.
