A symptom is a subjective sensation (e.g., chest pain) that a person feels from a disorder. A sign is an objective abnormality that the examiner can detect on physical examination or in laboratory reports, as illustrated by the other responses.

The functional assessment measures how a person manages day-to-day activities. The other answers do not reflect the purpose of a functional assessment.
