5. The following information is recorded in the health history: ―The patient has had abdominal pain for 1
week. The pain lasts for 30 minutes at a time; it comes and goes. The severity is 7 to 9 on a scale of 1 to

Correct Answer: B Chapter: 01
e




Feedback: This information describes the problem of abdominal pain, which is the present illness. The

interviewer will still need to obtain information concerning the quality of the pain, the setting in which it
pl




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
us




in the history of present illness.
