After ensuring the 80-year-old woman airway and adequate circulation and breathing, I should "gently remove enough clothing so that i can conduct a complete full-body assessment on her".

What is a complete full-body assessment?

The complete full-body assessment can be determined as a complete examination that includes a detailed health history as well as a complete head-to-toe physical exam. This form of assessment may well be conducted by registered nurses for hospitalized clients or in community-based situations such as home visits. The ABCCS assessment is the first thing that the nurse will conduct when they encounter a patient in an emergency situation. ABCCS stands for airway, breathing, circulation, consciousness, and safety. The ABCCS assessment should be repeated whenever the nurse suspects or detects that the patient's condition has become or is about to become unstable.
