inactivity and expanding multisystem dysfunction.
PTS: 1 REF: From: Chapter 1 TOP: Content: Examination
2. ANS: A
Explanation: Measurement describes phenomena in terms that can be analyzed numerically, whereas
diagnosis is the process that labels patients and classifies their illnesses, leading to the determination
of prognoses. The test-taker will need to know and understand the differences between the two
concepts.

values is commonly overlooked, even though it is necessary for integrating best evidence into
clinical practice.
PTS: 1 REF: From: Chapter 1 TOP: Content: Examination
4. ANS: C
Explanation: Asking whether the individual has difficulty walking a quarter of a mile is both specific
to capacity and quantifiable.
PTS: 1 REF: From: Chapter 1 TOP: Content: Examination
5. ANS: B

the other instruments are used in a variety of diagnoses.
