Occupational Profile in Evaluation and Assessment

Personal history, including occupations and roles, is included in the occupational profile.
Specific skills and interests of the individual are considered, but not every detail of personal preferences.

Pain Evaluation

Graphic presentations, such as pain scales, are used to assess the intensity and quality of pain.
Visual aids help in understanding pain distribution and the impact on daily activities.

Capillary Refill Test

Assesses peripheral circulation and blood flow adequacy.
Measures the time it takes for color to return to an area (typically a fingertip) after pressure is applied.

Physical Examination During Evaluation

Subjective aspects of the patient's condition, such as feelings and thoughts, are not typically included in the physical exams.
Emotional status might be considered, but is not the focus of physical assessment.

Wound and Scars Assessments

Assessment of the individual's emotional response to scars is not included.
The functionality of scars and their impact on movement may be evaluated instead of psychological factors.
