Initial Post
Hi everyone,
In order to elicit more subjective information from the patient, and to help formulate my differential diagnoses and plan, I will ask the patient some additional questions.
1. Would you feel more comfortable if I used an interpreter?
2. I want to ensure you that the treatment of your illness has nothing to do with the status of your immigration. Do you have health insurance?
3. Do you have access to a pharmacy and other health-care treatment?
4. Financially, are you able to pay for any prescriptions that you may receive?
5. How long have you had your fever, chills, a sore throat, and a nonproductive cough?
6. When having a fever at home, what was your temperature?
7. What has helped your chills, sore throat and cough?
8. What has worsened your chills, sore throat and cough?
9. From 1 (least pain/discomfort) to 10, how would you rate the pain and discomfort of your sore throat?
10. Does it hurt to swallow?
11. Do you feel like this illness has effected your asthma? If yes, how so?
12. Is anyone else in your home sick or have symptoms similar to yours?
13. Have you been having any other symptoms, such as malaise, difficulty breathing, nasal congestion, dizziness, weakness or a headache?
14. Have you had any nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or decreased appetite?
15. Have you received the influenza (flu) vaccine?
16. Do you monitor your blood pressure at home?
17. What is your usual blood pressure?
18. How are you with hydration?
19. Since you have been sick, do you feel as though your hydration has increased, decreased, or remained the same?
20. Do you have any allergies?
