Hi all! Thanks in advance for your help. I have to answer some questions for a patient's discharge. She just had her first baby and I am stumped as to what belongs in the PHYSIOLOGIC STATUS.

I answered the

Cognitive Status: AOx3, aware of surroundings, able to converse....

Affective status: patient accepts new baby, posture erect, gait is steady, smiling....

Physiologic Status??? I tried searching it, but all I found was vital signs?

I think it's just that.

Are they stable with respect to what is expected after having a baby. Basic vital signs of both the mother and child. What she should expect in the next few days. etc.
