You can find the full steps on Lippincott's Manual of Nursing Practice" (The Dark Blue Book) It has everything there from the procedures to the rationales

[b]Just remember regarding Physical Assessment:
Head-To-Toe Assessment => Just like what Sis Duch mentioned above
Acronym: IPPA (All areas except the abdomen)
I - nspection
P - ercussion
P - Palpation
A - uscultation
Regarding eye assessment : PERRLA (Pupils equally round and reactive to light and accomodation)
Note: If your assessing the abdomen..it's in an IAAP order...

Why? => doing percussion and palpation first will may alter the patient's bowel sounds
Always inform the patient on what you are going to do like before assessing the patient's reflexes with a reflex hammer..or instructing the patient to stay on a sitting positioning when auscultating the patient's chest using a stethoscope
Always prepare what you need before assessing the patient...BP and Stet, Penlight, Otoscope, Tongue depressor, Clean Gloves (Used to assess the oral cavity) etc.
While assessing the patient, it's important to interact with the patient to establish rapport, promote patient cooperation and comfort and most importantly trust...While assessing you may ask questions that may help you gather sufficient data in order to make a good NCP for your patient.
Always promote patient's privacy so if there are areas to be examined that needs to be draped then do that
[quote=aRies04991]Diniscuss lang nung CI namin but hindi sya nag demo. then sinasabi nya na nagdemo daw sya. so nagmukhang magulo tuloy

Di yan puedeng diniscuss lang yung CI nyo tapos walang return demo.. unfair yan sa mga students.. maybe she's just lazy to perform the return demo...I used to have a CI like that..She never gave us a return demo on what to do with the instruments and stuff in the OR so when i had to scrub in i got a lot of mistakes.. talagang dami akong bloopers doon..pinapagalitan pa ako nang doctor bakit di ko alam ang lahat nang mga instrumento..I can't just say "dahil hindi kami binigyan nang return demo sa CI" baka bibigyan ako nang extension pag malaman nang CI ko yan..

Keep Rockin' \m/[/b]
