The patient should be fully exposed in the ATLS setting. Clothes should be cut off, if necessary.

Every orifice, i.e. ear, eye, nostril, mouth, etc. should be looked at, and all limbs palpated for fractures so that nothing is missed.

Also, one should not forget to perform a log roll and look at the back.
