Question

State whether the statements are true or false:
Statement 1: Patients can only feel the symptoms.
Statement 2: Doctors can only diagnose the signs of disease.

• A. True; False
• B. False; False
• C. True; True
• D. False; True

Answer 1

The correct option is C True; True

Disease could be identified either through symptoms or signs.
While symptoms like headache, cough, loose motions can only be felt by the patient, signs of disease such as rashes over the skin during chicken pox, yellow colouration during jaundice can only be diagnosed by a doctor. Thus patients can only feel the symptoms and the signs of any disease can be diagnosed only by the doctor.
