AB  - Before  a  physical  therapist  first  examines  a  patient,  the  therapist  reviews  the  patient's  health  record.  This  is  an  essential  part  of  the  process  of  evaluating  a  patient.  The  therapist  accesses  the  health  record  to  learn  about  the  patient's  medical  history,  as  noted  by  other  healthcare  providers,  and  about  the  patient's  current  condition.  The  therapist  then  decides  about  the  safety  of  beginning  therapy  and  notes  precautions  that  must  be  taken  while  providing  therapy.  After  reviewing  the  health  record,  the  therapist  examines  and  evaluates  the  patient  and  determines  a  plan  of  care.
