2. Discuss the cardiovascular, musculoskeletal and genitourinary components of the PPE.
3. Discuss the PPE findings that require a physician consultation or referral before you can provide
medical clearance.
4. Discuss how you would handle the following scenario:
A 16-year-old male who is the star goalie on his high school soccer team who comes with his mother 2 days before the beginning of the season for you to sign their sports participation form. Your health history finds that his father died of a MI at age 45.
This is a post for discussion.
