The physical examination is a comprehensive evaluation of the child's body systems. It includes measuring growth parameters such as height, weight, and head circumference, and comparing them to standard growth charts. The examination also assesses vital signs, such as heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure. Each body system, including respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, neurological, and musculoskeletal, is thoroughly examined to detect any abnormalities or signs of illness.
