HEAD, NECK AND EYES
Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to describe the assessment maneuvers of the region of interest. Its goal is to achieve understanding of the basic physical examination skills and describe the normal findings primarily, normal variations and relevant abnormal findings. The assignment will allow the development and articulation of the first phase of the nursing process, the assessment. Late policy applies to this assignment.
This assignment has four components:
first, identify the region or system of interest;
second, identify the phases (steps) of the assessment in logic sequence;
demonstrate the maneuvers in logic sequence;
and fourth, define the expected findings of the normal adult.
