Hi all you pods out there,

What are peoples thoughts on patient assessments?
should we concentrait on the feet only or look at the patient in their entirety?
As a first year pod at uni, we are discouraged from doing what I feel is a full patient assessment, alertness, BP , Radial pulses respirations etc having 13yrs experience of acute/chronic and high dependency patient care I feel it is vital that patients recieve a full assessment whenever they make contact with a "health professional" and we should not just concentrait on our own little area at the expence of the rest of the patient.
I thought we where supposed to be all working toward collaberative patient care and not working in our own little playgroungs.....!
just my thought and whitterings, but I would really like to hear others thought on this, and what types of assessment pod in the "real world" are undertaking on their patients.
Regards an annoying student.:confused:
