Question 03/29/19 2:22 PM EDT
In your interview with Ms. Jones, you will ask about her musculoskeletal system and identify any risk factors or complications.If you discover any disease states, ask about symptoms and the patient’s experiences of them. Your questioning should cover a broad array of the symptoms’ characteristics. You will also inquire into the health history of Ms. Jones’ family with regards to the musculoskeletal system so you can determine her genetic predisposition to any diseases. Regardless of whether you have assessed Tina previously, ask all questions that are medically relevant to her musculoskeletal system.In addition to collecting subjective data, you will perform a physical exam on Ms. Jones’ musculoskeletal system to gather objective data about the system’s health and physiology.
While you should communicate with patients using accessible, everyday language, it is standard practice to use professional medical terminology everywhere else, such as in documenting physical findings and nursing notes.You may complete the exam activities in any order and move between them as needed.
