Throughout this course, you were encouraged to
practice conducting various physical assessments
on multiple areas of the body, ranging from the
head to the toes. Each of these assessments,
however, was conducted independently of one
another. For this DCE Assignment, you connect the
knowledge and skills you gained from each
individual assessment to perform a comprehensive
head-to-toe physical examination in your Digital
Clinical Experience.
