Nail Assessment for Nursing (Normal and Abnormal Findings) 

Nail Assessment for Nursing (Normal and Abnormal Findings)
Nursing student's registered nurses, and clinical practitioners will often look at a patient's nail bed to examine the overall health of the patient.
Completing a nursing assessment will include skin, hair, and nails. In this video, I talk about the importance of a thorough nail assessment as it will give us information about the patient's mental health, self-care capacity, respiratory health, cardiovascular health, nutritional health and so much more.
Master this nursing skill and nursing assessment is a top priority as we spend so few seconds looking at the nails, but gather very detailed information.
In this video, I will talk about several key areas for nailbed assessment such as
1. shape and contour
2. side profile
3. consistently
4. color and capillary refill test
5. abnormalities to consider such as clubbing, Terry's Nails, vitamin deficiencies, endocrine disorders, and more.
