It's 8 a.m. on Tina Jones' second morning as a patient here at Shadow
General Hospital. Ms. Jones has a physical therapy consultation later

and customize therapy accordingly.
What are my objectives in this assessment?

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. [Show Less]
