    Reminder: Carotid arteries should be auscultated (listened to) before palpated. If there is a bruit, we don't palpate because you don't want to accidentally break off the buildup attached to the artery (potentially causing a stroke). Great video overall! Cheers!

    Huge help! I start clinicals tomorrow, haven't done test outs on head to toe assessments yet, however I know this will be a huge part of clinicals. Thank you for clarifying this in a no nonsense-this is how I do it-approach. This is exactly what I needed.

    I'm in my first semester in the ADN program at my school and will be tested on this next week. I was actually pretty nervous because our instructors kind of leave us to our own devices and we have to figure things out on our own (unless we ask questions), but this video made it so much easier. Just hearing someone talk it through the whole thing helps a lot. I'm so glad I found your video, it's really helpful. New subscriber for sure!

    I'm an LPN (for about 12 years now) currently in the process of getting accepted into an RN program. They are making us do skills check offs, one being a head to toe assessment, which isn't something that is all that common for LPNs to do. I have been a nervous wreck, going over landmarks in my sleep!! This is the most helpful video and info I have found yet. Thanks!!

I was thinking real hard but I need I covered all your steps. Told her I didn't think I missed anything because I remembered all your steps. She said you didn't. I need you to be more confident. Yep, I was nervous but I did it.

  • @Adendum82
    @Adendum82 4 роки тому +3

    My biggest like for this vid is the way you make this general assessment flow. I think that's sometimes the hardest part of learning all of the individual assessment separately. There's no flow...and every prof says, "you'll develop your own style and sequence". But it's nice to see (or hear) a nurse putting it together, Profs don't repeat their expected flow more than a couple of times. This is helpful to practice to and develop a timely routine for a H2T assessment. I also love that you are very verbal...it helps to absorb info even when I'm busy with housework or something and can't watch the screen. Thanks Nurse Bass!
