When you visit a hospital or clinic, one of the most important steps in your care is the head-to-toe . This is a systematic way doctors, nurses, and clinical officers assess the body from the head down to the toes to understand your overall health.
What is included in a head-to-toe exam?
🩺Head & Neck – Checking vision, hearing, mouth, throat, and lymph nodes.
🩺Chest & Lungs – Listening to breathing sounds and checking for respiratory issues.
🩺Heart – Assessing heartbeat, rhythm, and circulation.
🩺Abdomen – Examining digestion, liver, kidney, and bowel sounds.
🩺Skin – Observing for rashes, wounds, infections, or changes in color.
🩺Muscles & Joints – Checking strength, mobility, and posture.
🩺 Nervous System – Testing reflexes, balance, memory, and coordination.
🩺 Feet & Toes – Assessing circulation, swelling, and nerve function.
Why is it important?
✅Early detection – Problems like infections, heart disease, or diabetes can be spotted before they get worse.
✅Holistic care – It ensures no part of the body is ignored.
✅Patient safety – It guides correct diagnosis and treatment.
