Inspection is the observation with the naked eyes to determine the structure and functions of the body. Observe the client while facing him or her in the bed or chair. Observe the client's skin color and texture; check for lesions and hair distribution. Look at overall body structure. If the client can be out of bed, observe gait and stance. Note all parts of the body as the examination proceeds. Inspection also evaluates verbal and behavioral responses and mental status. The following principles should be kept in mind for making accurate inspections: Good lighting and exposure are essential. Inspect each area for size, shape, color, symmetry and proportion and find out any deviations from normal. Use additional lights for examining body cavities, e.g. oral. The nurse should regularly perform focused assessments in response to.
