Exercise 10

• Your patient is grimacing, groaning, and holding his hands over his abdominal incision. You induce that the patient is having incision pain. How could you be sure your induction is factual (true)?
• Earlier you deduced that your emergency department patient with pyelonephritis will have an elevated temperature and back pain. How confident are you that this is actually so? How could you be more certain your deduction is correct?
