Health History

As healthcare professionals, the health history helps us compile important information to
better care for our patients. You should conduct a thorough patient interview to collect all the
necessary information to treat your patient.
Patient Narrative: In this assignment, your patient, Tina Jones, has been admitted to the
hospital for a painful foot wound, and you will conduct a health history as part of her admittal
process. This assignment occurs at midnight on Tina Jones’ frst day in the hospital. You will
interact with Ms. Jones throughout the course of her hospital stay, so this assignment is especially
important to establish baseline information about your patient.
Planning your time:
• Review the assignment settings your instructor selected on the assignment
overview page.
• Every assignment setting allows you to stop and resume an assignment until you leave
Getting Started:
View this tutorial for guidance on getting started with the Health History Assignment.
Tips for success:
Unlike the Conversation Concept Lab, there are no prompts during your interview, so you should
prepare prior to entering Ms. Jones’ room. We suggest taking out your textbook to remind your
self of what taking a health history entails. There are essential sections of patient information
that your interview will need to uncover. As you learned in the Conversation Concept Lab, there
are multiple essential questions for each of these topics:
q Chief Complaint
q History of Present Illness
q Pain Assessment
q Allergies
q Immunizations
q Medications
q Medical History
q Surgical History
q Previous Hospitalizations
q Gynecological History
q Family History (3 Generations)
q Social History
q Full Review of Systems
