A head-to-toe assessment is a physical examination or health assessment, and it is one of the many important components of understanding a patient’s needs and problems. This assessment is performed during every shift and sometimes multiple times to determine if there have been any changes in your patient’s status. 

Weve put together a step-by-step guide to what happens in a nursing head-to-toe assessment and how nurses should understand the physical, emotional and mental aspects of someone’s body systems.

Head-to-Toe Assessment Experts

We interviewed two healthcare experts to learn their best practices for conducting head-to-toe assessments. Terri Zucchero[1] PhD, RN, FNP-BC is a nurse practitioner in Boston and Angela Haynes Ferere[2], DNP, FNP-BC, MPH, serves as DABSN Program Director at Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing at Emory University in Atlanta.
