Article=Nursing Assessment

Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?

Everything in this article is relevant to the article topic, but the use of pain in the focused assessment section was unneeded since it should be addressed with vital signs. The placement of "listening to heart and lung sounds" in the physical examination section distracted me because they were not given their own section in the focused assessment too.
