Approach
• History - subjective information concerning events,
environment, trauma, medications, poisons, toxins
• Physical examination - objective information
assessing organ system status and function• Differentials - potential reasons for presentation
• linical and laboratory studies - degree of changes
from normal
• ompensation - assessment of response to initial
problem
