What Are the Challenges in Assessing Physical Ability?
Challenges in assessing physical ability may include:
1. Patient Cooperation: Some patients may be unwilling or unable to participate fully in the assessment. 2. Subjectivity: Some aspects of the assessment may be subjective and rely on the nurse's judgment. 3. Comorbidities: Chronic conditions like arthritis or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can complicate the assessment. 4. Cognitive Impairment: Patients with cognitive issues may have difficulty understanding or following instructions.
