520			_a"When patients are admitted, at the beginning of each shift, and when the patient's hemodynamic status and the surroundings indicate it is necessary, a comprehensive head-to-toe assessment is performed. Health care professionals use the findings from a head-to-toe assessment to determine the patient's overall health status. In case of unusual findings, a focused assessment of the affected body system should follow. The head-to-toe assessment helps to identify any potential health issues that the patient may have, as well as any changes in the patient's condition since the last assessment. It also allows health care professionals to develop an appropriate plan of care based on the patient's individual needs. For example, if a patient has a fever, a focused assessment would include taking the temperature, checking for any skin changes, and evaluating the patient's respiration and heart rate. By assessing the patient from head to toe, health care professionals can identify any potential health issues that may have gone unnoticed in a more focused assessment.
