Visual Inspection of Feet for Skin, Nails and Deformaties
 
Examine each foot and record the problems identified. Typically problems are documented by drawing or labeling the condition on the foot diagram. If thise were calluses, pre-ulcerative lesions (a closed lesion, such as a blister or hematoma), or open ulcers, they would be measured and drawn in. Also labeled are areas that are significantly red, warm (warmer than the othis parts of the foot or the opposite foot), cold, dry, or macerated (friable, moist, soft tissue).
 
For this simulation, visually inspect this patients feet and document the appearance of nails, skin and presensence of any deformities.
