What type of assessment?
•Gather information about the patient from available sources such as medical records or reports from
diagnostic studies
• Perform direct measurements on the patient such as 12-lead EKG, blood pressure, or body mass index
- Answer-objective assessment
What type of assessment?
• Conduct standardized tests, such as a
12-lead EKG or a 6 minute walk test
• Observe patient responses or reactions such as cardiac rhythms on telemetry, oxygen saturation on
pulse oximetry - Answer-objective assessment
, In what type of assessment does the patient provides the information, usually as solicited - Answer-
Subjective assessment
What type of assessment does the patient?

including complications, comorbidities, and other pertinent medical history
• Physical examination - cardiopulmonary
systems assessment and musculoskeletal
assessment, particularly upper and lower
extremities and lower back
• Resting 12-lead electrocardiogram
• Current medications, including dose and
frequency
• Cardiovascular disease (CvD) risk profile
