Inspection is the initial technique used to assess the skin, hair, and nails. This involves visually inspecting the client's skin for color, texture, and lesions, as well as examining the hair and nails for any abnormalities. Percussion, palpation, and auscultation are not typically used in skin, hair, and nail assessments.
