Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Signs are observable or measurable indicators of a medical condition, as opposed to subjective feelings or experiences reported by the patient (symptoms). They can be observed by the physician or detected using instruments, such as a thermometer or blood pressure cuff. Outcomes refer to the results or consequences of a treatment, while behavior and feelings are subjective experiences that cannot be directly observed or measured by others.
