54
Q

when planning the objective exam, you must modify the ___ _____ and establish the ____

A

initial hypothesis, SINSS

Q

refers to the clinician’s assessment of the intensity of the patient’s symptoms and the patient’s perception of their symptoms as they relate to a functional activity or limitation

A

severity

56
Q

refers to the relationship among the amount of activity required to provoke a patient symptoms, the magnitude of those symptoms and the time it takes for the symptoms to subside to baseline

A

irritability

3 components:
- time or activity to onset
- magnitude of symptoms provoked
- time for symptoms to subside

57
Q

represents the clinician’s assessment of the hypotheses of structures (if appropriate), syndrome/classification or pathoanatomic structures causing symptoms…
AND

60
Q

will SINSS limit the examination?

A

yes, determines whether to be gentle or vigorous
severe & irritable: limit exam, don’t make pnt worse
non-severe & irritable: no limit to exam, reproduce symptoms

61
Q

severity ratings

A

minimal: symptoms do not limit or hinder activity
