THE COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH HISTORY

The purpose of health history is to collect subjective data - what the patient says about himself or herself. The history is combined with objective data from the physical examination and laboratory studies to form the data base . Health History

The health history provides a comprehensive portrait of the patient's past and present health. The component of a health history are as follows: Biographic Data Reason for Seeking Care (Chief complaint of present illness) Present health or history of present illness Current medication (Medication Reconciliation) Family history Review of systems (ROS) Functional assessment of activities of daily living (ADL's)

The Health History - The Adult

Biographic Data Name Address and phone number; email address Age and birth date Birthplace Gender Marital Status Race, Ethnic Origin spoken (e.g. speaks Ilocano only, speaks Chinese only).

Biographic Data Occupation (usual and present - an illness or disability may have prompted change in occupation) Language and communication needs (primary language and authorized representative should be recorded ; if the patient does not speak English or Filipino/Tagalog, specify the language / dialect Source of History Record who furnishes the information (e.g. the patient, relative or friend).

Biographic Data Judge how reliable the information seems and how willing he or she is to communicate. What is reliable? A reliable person always gives the same answers, even when questions are rephrased or are repeated later in the interview. Note any special circumstances, such as the use of an interpreter. Examples: Patient herself, who seems reliable. Patient's son, Joseph Peter, who seems reliable. Mrs. Ling Nam, interpreter for Sun Jing who does not speak Filipino or English (speaks Chinese only).

2. Reason for Seeking Care (Chief Complaint) This is a brief spontaneous statement in the patient's own words that describes the reason for the visit. It states one (possibly two signs or symptoms and their duration. A sign is an abnormality that can be detected on physical examination or in laboratory studies. A symptom is a subjective sensation that the person feels from the disorder.

2. Reason for Seeking Care (Chief Complaint) The chief complaint is enclosed in quotation marks to indicate the person's exact words. This is now replaced with "reason for seeking care" that incorporates wellness needs. "Chest pain for 2 hours." "Earache and fussy all night." "Dizziness and ringing of the right ear" "Need yearly physical examination for work." Examples:

2. Reason for Seeking Care (Chief Complaint) The chief complaint is not a diagnostic statement. Avoid translating it into terms of a medical diagnosis (e.g., "increasing shortness of breath for four hours," not "emphysema").

3. Present Health or History of Present illness For the well person, this is a short statement about general state of health. For the ill person, this is a chronological record of the reason for seeking care, from the time the symptom first started until now. "Please tell me all about your headache, from the time it started until the time you came to the hospital." Examples:

3. Present Health or History of Present illness The final summary of any symptom should include the following eight critical characteristics: a. Location E.g., pain - "pain behind the eyes," "jaw pain." "Is the pain localized to this site, or radiating?" "Is the pain superficial or deep?" b. Quality or Character. This calls for specific descriptive terms such as burning, sharp, dull, aching, gnawing, throbbing, shooting, vise- like.

3. Present Health or History of Present illness c. Quantity or Severity. d.Timing (Onset, Duration, Frequency) . Attempt to quantify the sign and symptom, e.g., "profuse menstrual flow soaking five pads per hour.“ Or using Wongs pain scale 1-10 When did the symptom first appear? Or state specifically how long ago the symptom started prior to arrival. How long did the symptom last? Was it steady (constant) or did it come and go during that time (intermittent)?

3. Present Health or History of Present illness e. Setting. Example: Where was the person or what was the person doing when the symptom started? What brings it on? "Did you notice the chest pain after carrying a heavy lead, or did the pain start by itself?

3. Present Health or History of Present illness f. Aggravating or Relieving Factors. Example: What makes the pain worse? "Is it aggravated by weather, activity, food, medication, time of day, season and so on?" What relieves it (e.g., rest, medication, ice pack)? What is the effect of treatment? Example: "What have you tried?" or "What seems to help?"

3. Present Health or History of Present illness g. Associated Factors. Is the primary symptom associated with any other symptoms (e.g., urinary frequency and burning associated with fever and chills?) Review the body system related to this symptom now rather than wait for the review of systems. h. Patient's Perception. Find out the meaning of the symptom by asking how it affects daily activities. Also ask directly, "What do you think it means?" This is crucial because it alerts the nurse to potential anxiety if the person thinks the symptoms may be ominous.

3. Present Health or History of Present illness To help remember all the points, organize this question sequence into the mnemonic PQRSTU . P : Provocative and Palliative. What brings it on? What were you doing when you first notice it? What makes it better? Worse? Q : Quality or Quantity. How does it look, feel, sound? How intense/severe is it? R : Region or Radiation. Where is it? Does it spread anywhere? S : Severity Scale. How bad is it (on a scale of 1 to 10?) Is it getting better, worse, staying the same?

3. Present Health or History of Present illness T: Timing. Onset - exactly when did it first occur ? Duration - how long did it last? Frequency - how often does it occur? U: Understand Patient's Perception of the Problem. What do you think it means?

4. Past Health History Past health events may have residual effects on the current state of health. Previous experience with illness may give clues on how the patient responds to illness and to the significance of illness for him or her. a. Childhood Illness . Measles, mumps, rubella, chicken pox, pertussis and strep b. Accidents or Injuries . Auto accidents, fractures, head injuries, burns, falls. c. Serious or Chronic Illness . Diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, cancer, seizure disorder.

4. Past Health History d. Hospitalizations . Cause, name of hospital, how the condition was treated, how long the person was hospitalized and name of the physician. e. Operations. Type of surgery, date, name of the surgeon, name of deliveries in which the fetus reached full term, number of preterm pregnancies, number of abortions and number of children living. This is recorded: Gravida, Term, Preterm, Abortion, Living.

4. Past Health History f. Obstetric History . Number of pregnancies (Gravidity), polio, diphtheria - pertussis - tetanus (DPT), hepatitis B, human papilloma virus (HPV), haemophilus influenza type b (Hib), pneumococcal vaccine. Note the date last tetanus immunization, last tuberculosis skin test and last flu shot. g. Last Examination Date : Physical, dental, vision, hearing, electrocardiogram (ECG), chest X-ray examinations.

4. Past Health History h . Allergies . Note both the allergen (medication, food, or contact agent) and the reaction (rash, itching, runny nose, watery eyes, difficulty breathing).

5. Current Medications (Medication Reconciliation) Note all prescription and over the counter (OTC) medications and herbal remedies. Ask specifically for vitamins, birth control pills, aspirin and antacids. For each medication, note the name, dose and schedule and ask, "How often do you take it each day?" What is it for?" and "How long have you been taking it?" Prescribed medications may have adverse interactions with OTC's and herbal medications.

5. Current Medications (Medication Reconciliation) This also ensures evaluation of medications taken by the patient by the physician - either to continue the medication unchanged, to continue but change dose, or to discontinue the medication. Medication reconciliation in a comparison of a list of current medication with a previous list, which is done at every hospitalization and every clinic visit.

Ask about the age and health or age and cause of death of blood relatives such as parents, grandparents, siblings. These data may have genetic significance for the patient. Ask about close family members such as spouse and children. If there is prolonged contact with any communicable disease (e.g., husband has pulmonary tuberculosis). 6. Family History

Ask family history of heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, blood disorders, cancer, anemia, arthritis, allergies, obesity, alcoholism, mental illness, seizure disorder, kidney disease and tuberculosis. A pedigree or genogram is the most fruitful way to complete a family history (see Appendix). 6. Family History

The order of the examination is from head to toe. Remember, that the health history should be limited to patient statements or subject data --factors that the person says were or were not present. 7. Review of Systems (ROS)

Developmental Competence Record the parent's spontaneous statement. Reasons given by parents may be, "time for the child's check-up," "she needs the next vaccine/ immunization." A parent may have a "hidden agenda" such as a mother bringing her 4-year old child to the clinic because the child "looked pale." Further questioning revealed that the mother had heard recently from a friend who's own 4 - year old child had just been diagnosed with leukemia. A. Additional information for health history for pediatric patients. Reason for Seeking Care ✔️ ✔️

Developmental Competence Include a statement about the usual health of the child and any common health problems or major health concerns. Present Health or History of Present Illness ✔️ ✔️ Examples: The child's health status is generally good as stated by mother. The child's weight is within normal range for age. The child had "one asthmatic attack" for the past 3 months. The child is in pain, as claimed by the mother.

Developmental Competence Describe any presenting sign or symptom. Use the same format as for the adult. Some additional considerations include: Present Health or History of Present Illness ✔️ Severity of Pain "How do you know, the child is in pain?" (e.g. "pulling at ears," "turning the head from side to side," "fussiness," "curls up knees over the abdomen."

Developmental Competence Effect of Pain on Usual Behavior "Refuses feeding." "Stops him/her from playing." "Refuses to go to school." "Stays in bed most of the time." Parent's coping ability and reaction of other family member to child's symptoms or illness.

Past Health Prenatal Status ✔️ How was this pregnancy spaced? Was it planned? What was the mother's attitude to this pregnancy? What was the father's attitude to this pregnancy? Was there medical supervision for the mother? At what month was the supervision started? What was the mother's health during pregnancy?

Past Health Were there any complications (e.g., bleeding, excessive nausea and vomiting, unusual weight gain, high blood pressure, swelling of hands and feet, infections German measles/rubella, sexually— transmitted disease, falls)? What diet and medications were prescribed and/or take during pregnancy? Did the mother smoke, take alcohol, use street drugs during pregnancy?

Past Health Did the mother undergo any x-ray studies during pregnancy? Start with an open — ended question: "Tell me about your pregnancy?" Explain to the mother that these questions are important to gain a complete picture of the child's health.

Past Health Labor and Delivery ✔️ Parity of the mother (e.g., Gravida Para) Duration of pregnancy (e.g., 9 months) Place of delivery (e.g., Lying - in clinic, hospital, home) Type of delivery (e.g., normal/vaginal delivery, Cesarean section, vertex (head is presenting part), breech (buttocks is presenting part)

Past Health Birth weight, birth length, head circumference, chest circumference, Apgar Scores, onset or breathing, any cyanosis, need for resuscitation and use of special equipment or procedure.

Past Health Postnatal Status ✔️ Any problems in the nursery? Length of hospital stay Neonatal jaundice (e.g., after 24 hours, first 24 hours of birth) " Whether the baby was discharged with the mother, or needed to stay longer in the nursery Whether the baby was breast — fed or bottle — fed

Past Health ✔️ Any feeding problems, "blue — spells," "colic diarrhea" Patterns of crying and sleeping Mother's health postpartum Mother's reaction to the baby
