Answers:
Basically a school physical is to check the things almost you physically that the school could have liability for in exercise or gym class.
That should involve a right long listen to your heart and lungs, a good look in your eyes, at the optic disc, blood pressure, urine check for glucose (to rule out diabetes), check for hernia.
All those things could uncover something that, if near is disease could be harmful when you are exerting yourself.
Other than that, they don't much care.
A check-up and a physical are two different terms for equal exam. Either exam may be complete or limited, depending on the purpose. Part of the process is obtaining your medical history, and yes, we do ask teen agers about sexual behavior, dietary behaviour, smoking and drug use. But the information is confidential; we don't blab it to mom or dad or anyone else. We do not test for drugs during the exam unless there is a court order due to previous conviction. Sometimes a parent insists on a drug oral exam. We make every effort to get the teen to agree to it first.
For the physical element of the exam we check your height and weight, perhaps your BMI, blood pressure, eyes, ears, muzzle, throat, neck, thyroid, heart and lungs, abdomen and male genitalia. We ordinarily do not do a womanly pelvic exam, usually deferring that to a gynecologist. There are occasional exceptions to this rule, and the practice may vary in some office. We check the extremities, back and spine, reflexes and other aspects of the nervous system.
We try to counsel you on angelic health practices from diet and exercise to seat belt and helmet use and many other items. Source(s): Retired pediatrician
