SOLUTION  

Comprehensive patient assessment allows caregivers to understand surface and deeper medical issues affecting a client. Nurses can investigate a patient’s wellness level by inspecting the eyes, ears, nose, and throat (ENT), not forgetting the skin coloration, possible lesions, rashes, and other bruises on the skin surface (Giddens, 2021). The inspection also extends to sound and body odors. At other times, nurses can use auscultation, palpation, or percussion in their assessment. Thus, conducting a wellness assessment may involve multiple assessment techniques.

Assessing the 32 years old female patient will require a detailed understanding of their external, internal, and behavioral practices that affect their wellness level. The first primary concern is the skin condition because changes in skin coloration, texture, and lacerations might indicate an issue requiring further analysis (Giddens, 2021). The second main concern is the patient’s neurological functions since a disruption or blockage of signal transmitters may cause impairments in other bodily functions. …..please click the purchase button below to access the entire solution at $10
