Patient evaluation is the systematic process clinicians use to assess a patient's health status, including taking a medical history, performing physical exams, reviewing symptoms, and interpreting diagnostic tests. It forms the foundation for diagnosis and treatment planning across medicine, nursing, physical therapy, and other clinical fields. Accurate evaluation requires strong observational, communication, and clinical reasoning skills.
