Chapter 1 Cardiopulmonary Assessment
1. Demographic data include which of the following?
a. Past surgeries
b. Patient’s physician name
c. Major illnesses
d. Living arrangements
ANS: B
RATIONALE: Demographic data are the basic identifying and
administrative details about a patient (name, address, age, gender,
admitting diagnosis, and patient’s physician are specifically listed
under “Demographic data” in Table 1-1). Major illnesses and past
surgeries belong to the past medical history (PMH), while living
arrangements are recorded as part of the social history. Thus option
(b) is the only item explicitly categorized as demographic information.

ANS: C
RATIONALE: The History of Present Illness (HPI) is defined as the
portion of the history that documents specific, chronological, and
detailed information about the patient’s chief complaint (onset,
duration, character, setting, associated manifestations,
relieving/aggravating factors). Past medical history documents prior
illnesses and surgeries; social history covers living, tobacco, alcohol,
occupation; and the review of systems is a system-by-system
checklist rather than the focused narrative HPI. Therefore the HPI (c)
best fits the stem.

documented in which section of the patient’s medical record?
a. History of present illness
b. Past medical history
c. Review of systems
d. Chief complaint
ANS: A
RATIONALE: “relieving factors” and “factors that diminish or
aggravate symptoms” among the HPI components (Table 1-3),
because these variables are part of the focused narrative that explains
