examines a patient very thoroughly, looking at physical, mental and emotional activity, taking the pulse usually at the wrists, examining the tongue and complexion, and observing the patient's demeanor and attitude
The appropriate steps to take when examining a patient are inspection, auscultation, palpation and percussion.
Physical methods of diagnosis include observing the patient's appearance and behavior, palpating (feeling) the body for abnormalities, percussing (tapping) to assess the sounds produced by body tissues, and auscultating (listening) to sounds produced by the body such as heart or lung sounds. These methods help healthcare providers gather information about the patient's health and aid in determining a diagnosis.
A term relating to the poor general condition of the patient - if someone needs 'curating' they require a general improvement in their overall physical condition in order to be viable for pregnancy.
Only a real doctor can make that determination ... after examining the patient.
The assessment technique that progresses from general observation to specific body areas is called the head-to-toe assessment. It involves systematically examining each body system from top to bottom to gather comprehensive information about the patient's condition. This method ensures that no important aspect of the patient's health status is missed during the assessment.
Rehabilitation addresses the patient's physical, psychological, and environmental needs. It is achieved by restoring the patient's physical functions and/or modifying the patient's physical and social environment.

The doctor will examine the patient's back and hips to check for conditions that require surgery or emergency treatment.
The general physical examination may range from normal findings to symptoms that are closely associated with AIDS. These symptoms are hairy leukoplakia of the tongue and Kaposi's sarcoma.
