which may suggest the presence of a particular
medical condition or disorder.
Symptoms

are experienced by a patient and reported in the
medical history such as pain, nausea, or dizziness.
Signs
are objective evidence of a disorder
that a physician or nurse can recognize during a
physical examination such as wheezing, visual
impairment, or a seizure.
