How does the nurse recognize jaundice in dark

The most obvious sign of jaundice is a yellow tinge to the skin and the whites of the eyes. The yellowing of the skin is usually first noticeable on the head and face, before spreading down the body. In people with dark skin, yellowing of the whites of the eyes is often more noticeable.

Which body part is the best site for the nurse to inspect for jaundice?

The best site to inspect the jaundice is the patient's sclera. You see normal reactive hyperemia or redness, most often in regions exposed to pressure such as the sacrum, heels, and greater trochanter.
