Physical Exam is objective, Review of Systems is subjective
- B.
Physical Exam is subjective, Review of Systems is objective
- C.
Physical Exam and Review of Systems are both subjective
- D.
Physical Exam and Review of Systems are both objective
Correct Answer
A. pHysical Exam is objective, Review of Systems is subjectiveExplanation
The physical exam involves the healthcare provider directly observing and examining the patient's body, using techniques such as palpation, auscultation, and inspection. This makes it an objective assessment since it is based on measurable and observable findings. On the other hand, the review of systems relies on the patient's subjective reporting of symptoms, such as asking about their medical history, current symptoms, and any relevant past experiences. This makes it a subjective assessment as it relies on the patient's perception and interpretation of their symptoms.Rate this question:

True or False. A medical chart is used for the following: legal document, patient medical history, billing purposes, public record.
- A.
True
- B.

B. FalseExplanation
A medical chart is used for various purposes, including recording a patient's medical history, documenting treatments and medications, and tracking their progress. However, it is not used as a legal document, for billing purposes, or as a public record. These functions are typically fulfilled by other documents such as consent forms, insurance claims, and government databases. Therefore, the statement that a medical chart is used for legal document, patient medical history, billing purposes, and public record is false.Rate this question:

This order allows healthcare providers to gather all relevant information about the patient's current condition, medical history, symptoms, physical findings, and any additional tests or studies that have been conducted, and then formulate an assessment of the patient's condition and create a plan for further treatment or management.Rate this question:
