Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement reporting an increase in the patient's ability to sit for a longer time, without pain, is a functional gain and one that should be included in the subjective section. Watching the Super Bowl does not pertain to the patient's functional gain. The patient reporting his pain level is appropriate but no site was given, and the report of walking did not provide the type of surface or how far he was able to walk.
