👁️ 🔦 Pupil assessments may seem extra but I do one with most of my patients! Be sure to: 🔹 Measure pupil size and shape 🔹 Check for reactivity to light 🔹 Recognize normal vs. abnormal findings (e.g., anisocoria) 🔹 Understand implications like increased intracranial pressure 🔹 Detect early signs of neurological disorders #NursingStudents #PupilAssessment #healthcarenotes #NursingSkills
