Why do you think the requirements for the comprehensive type 1995 physical examination are specific?
What will be an ideal response?
By distinguishing between the organ systems and body areas, the comprehensive physical examination documents a thoroughly holistic assessment of the patient's physiology. Since there are twelve organ systems, the documentation of eight organ systems represents more than two-thirds of the human anatomy. Likewise, as there are seven body areas, one of which represents four extremities, eight body areas represents almost ¾ of the human anatomy. Also, since the comprehensive physical examination represents a nature of presenting problem with a high severity of risk, this type of physical examination should clearly document a thorough assessment of the patient's physiology.
