The health history and physical assessment focus on current
and past symptoms, such as fatigue, weakness, pain, stiffness,
fever, or anorexia, and the effects of these symptoms on the patient’s
lifestyle and self-image. Because the rheumatic diseases affect
many body systems, the history and physical assessment
include a review and examination of all systems, with particular
attention given to those areas most commonly affected, including
the musculoskeletal system (see Chart 54-1).
