Physical Examination: Conducting a thorough physical exam to assess the patient's current health status. Psychosocial Assessment: Evaluating the patient's mental and emotional well-being, including stress levels, coping mechanisms, and support systems. Functional Assessment: Assessing the patient's ability to perform daily activities and identifying any limitations. Environmental Assessment: Evaluating the patient's living conditions and identifying any factors that may affect their health and well-being.
