,Chapter 1: Overview: Physical Examination and History Taking
1. For which of the following patients would a comprehensive health history be appropriate?
A) A new patient with the chief complaint of “I sprained my ankle”
B) An established patient with the chief complaint of “I have an upper respiratory infection”
C) A new patient with the chief complaint of “I am here to establish care”
D) A new patient with the chief complaint of “I cut my hand”
Answer✓✓: C
Chapter: 01
Page and Header: 4, Patient Assessment: Comprehensive or Focused
Feedback: This patient is here to establish care, and because she is new to you, a comprehensive health history is
appropriate.
2. The components of the health history include all of the following except which one?
A) Review of systems
B) Thorax and lungs
C) Present illness
D) Personal and social items
Answer✓✓: B
Chapter: 01
Page and Header: 4, Patient Assessment: Comprehensive or Focused
Feedback: The thorax and lungs are part of the physical examination, not part of the health history. The others
answers are all part of a complete health history.
3. Is the following information subjective or objective?
Mr. M. has shortness of breath that has persisted for the past 10 days; it is worse with activity and relieved by rest.
.
, A) Subjective
B) Objective
Answer✓✓: A
Chapter: 01
Page and Header: 6, Differences Between Subjective and Objective Data
Feedback: This is information given by the patient about the circumstances of his chief complaint. It does not
represent an objective observation by the examiner.
4. Is the following information subjective or objective? Mr. M. has a
respiratory rate of 32 and a pulse rate of 120.
A) Subjective
B) Objective
Answer✓✓: B
Chapter: 01
Page and Header: 6, Differences Between Subjective and Objective Data
Feedback: This is a measurement obtained by the examiner, so it is considered objective data. The patient is unlikely
to be able to give this information to the examiner.
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 10. It is accompanied
by nausea and vomiting. It is located in the mid-epigastric area.”
Which of these categories does it belong to?
A) Chief complaint
B) Present illness
C) Personal and social history
D) Review of systems
Answer✓✓: B
Chapter: 01
Page and Header: 6, The Comprehensive Adult Health History
Feedback: 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 the present illness.
