What are the benefits to performing a physical examination on patients? How can you explain those benefits to patients when they ask? What is the difference between a complete physical and a focused physical?

The benefits of a physical examination is that you can be there and see how the patient acts with whatever they are coming in for, it’s better then them trying to explain it over the phone. You can explain them by saying that it’s better to feel/see it in person as apposed to a picture or call. The last one I don’t know, sorry :(
