Review of systems - Answer-Present illness
This information describes the problem of abdominal pain,
which is the present illness. The interviewer has obtained
the location, timing, severity, and associated
manifestations of the pain. The interviewer will still need to
obtain information concerning the quality of the pain, the
setting in which it occurred, and the factors that aggravate
and alleviate the pain. You will notice that it does include
portions of the pertinent review of systems, but because it
relates directly to the complaint, it is included in the history
of present illness.
The following information is recorded in the health history:
"The patient completed 8th grade. He currently lives with
his wife and two children. He works on old cars on the
weekend. He works in a glass factory during the week."
