Functional impairment,disability,or handicap refers to varying degrees of an individual's inability to perform the tasks required to complete normal life activities without assistance.Height,weight,BMI,and vital signs are physical assessment.Sleep,energy,memory,and concentration are part of a depression screening.Healthy,volunteering,working,and caring for family and house are functional abilities,not performance.
