Abstract
Physical assessment for nursing purposes is necessarily different from that of medicine because the focus of nursing is to diagnose and treat human responses to disease rather than the disease itself. This article will consider nursing assessment, pathophysiology, implications for daily living, and nursing implications for selected functional aspects of movement, namely seeing, eating, expressing (facially), speaking, moving, and walking.
