Have a look at Barb's file and determine what information is missing. Then, answer the question at the bottom of the page.

Barb's file is missing information regarding her age, functional status, and her dominant side. Is this information important and, if so, why do you think it is important to know it at the beginning of your physical examination of Barb?

		a)	Age and functional status are not important to know, so Barb's file is OK.
		b)	Age and functional status are good to know, but are not required in this initial examination.
		c)	Age and functional status are important to know so underlying conditions (like osteoporosis) can be identified and eliminated throughout the examination process.
