history during to collect initial information?
A) “Did you plan your pregnancy?”
B) “Did you breastfeed your child?”
C) “What are the ages of your child's siblings?
D) “What is the reason for your child's visit today?”
Ans: C
Rationale: When collecting initial information during the complete health history, the nurse
collects information about the parents (including names, ages, and health status) along with
information about siblings (age and health status). The other questions are more appropriate
when the nurse collects information during the past history portion of the health history.

Title: Obtaining an Initial History
2. The practitioner conducts a health history for an infant who is seen to rule out otitis media.
Which question from the practitioner collects background information for this infant's current
issue?
A) “Does your child breast or bottle feed?”
B) “Is your child allergic to any medication?”
C) “Did your other children have frequent ear infections?”
D) “When did you notice your child pulling at the left ear?”
Ans: D
Rationale: When collecting background information during the complete health history, the
practitioner inquires about the current problem or illness. One question the practitioner asks is
when the symptoms began. During the past history portion of the complete health history, the
practitioner asks about the child's nutrition and any drug allergies. The practitioner inquires if
other members of the child's family have similar symptoms when collecting background
information; however, asking about ear infections for the parent's other children will not assist
the practitioner regarding the background information of the current issue.
