Question

Brian goes to the hospital after not feeling well for a week. He has a fever of 38 °C (100.4 °F) and

complains of nausea and a constant migraine. Distinguish between the signs and symptoms of disease in
Brian's case.

Answer 1

The signs would be his fever/high temperature. The symptoms would be his feelings of nausea and migraine.

Step-by-step explanation:

Where a symptom is subjective, as in apparent only to the patient (for example back pain or fatigue), a sign is any objective evidence of a disease that can be observed by others (for example a skin rash or lump).
