The key idea here is what the Systems Review in physical therapy covers. In practice, the Systems Review is a quick screen across multiple body systems to spot potential problems that need deeper evaluation. The standard set includes cardiovascular/pulmonary, integumentary (skin), musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, and the domains of communication and cognition, with movement as an observable functional aspect. This combination lets the clinician catch red flags and gauge overall function without performing a full system-specific exam.

That’s why the list that includes cardiovascular/pulmonary, integumentary, musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, communication and cognition, and movement is the best answer. The other options include systems not typically part of a Systems Review (like endocrine, gastrointestinal, or auditory/visual senses) or are far too narrow (only respiratory and digestive), which wouldn’t capture the breadth of screening intended in the Systems Review.
