    A head-to-toe assessment involves systematically assessing all major body systems including the central nervous system, eyes/ears/mouth/nose, respiratory/cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, genitourinary/kidneys, integumentary, and musculoskeletal systems. The assessment should check for any devices like tubes or IV lines. Primary assessment tools are inspection, palpation, percussion, and auscultation. The assessment should be organized, compare both sides of the body, and involve taking notes.
