Head-to-toe examination of the older adult

" ... takes a systematic approach to complete examination of the older adult, combining body-system assessments within the same region, adapting techniques for an older adult, and highlighting variations in findings related to age and functional impairment. First, it shows how to obtain an overview by measuring height and weight, inspecting the skin, and assessing vital signs. Then it proceeds to the head-to-toe examination and covers assessment of the head and face, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, throat, neck, chest, upper extremities, breasts, neck vessels, heart, abdomen, lower extremities (while supine), neurologic system, lower extremities (when standing), neuromuscular function, and genitalia and rectum (with variations for men and women)."--Website.
