Health Assessment: Musculoskeletal System- Nursing Skills:

In this video we’re going to review a Musculoskeletal Assessment. The Musculoskeletal system involves the muscles, bones, and joints. This means we must assess structure AND function! If the patient cannot stand, assessments should be performed in the bed to the best of your ability. If they cannot perform Active Range of Motion (ROM), use Passive movements to determine ROM.
We love you guys! Go out and be your best selves today! And, as always, happy nursing!
