| diseases are identified by means of their | manifestation |
| the patient's reported perceptions for the condition are called | symptoms |

| together the history and physical is called | H&P |
| if the history and physical exam do not provide a definitive diagnosis, the next step is to | order additional tests |
| after a diagnosis has been made, the physician formulates a | treatment plan |
| a prediction of the course of disease | prognosis |
| diseases are classified as either structural or functional. Which is a dz that involves changes to the cells of the body? | structural |
| diseases are classified as either structural or functional. Which is a dz that is characterized by an abnormal change in function, with no structural changes? | functional |
