Do you count 8 organ systems for a comprehensive exam? Patient is in a coma.

VITAL SIGNS: BP 100/60, HR 90, Intubated on vent, sedated. Weight 171 kg.
HEENT- face is cushingoid
CHEST: bilateral rhonchi
ABD: soft
EXT: legs show edema
NEURO: corneal and gag reflex absent. No movement or withdrawal to pain- upper and lower extremities.

(1. constitutional, 2. eyes, 3. ENT, 4. resp, 5. gastro, 6. neuro, 7. cardio or lymphatic [extremity edema] and 8. musculoskeletal [non-movement of the extremities as mentioned in the neuro exam… was looking at that as being neuromuscular]).

Also, where would you place "cushingoid" in the HEENT heading since this is endocrine based
 
No - this is not a comprehensive exam. Please refer to the response to this question which was posted also under General Discussions!
