The student nurse is reviewing different types of health history. Which client situation would require an Emergency health history?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: An emergency health history is needed for life-threatening conditions like hypotension, tachycardia, low SpO2, and a gunshot wound, guiding urgent treatment. Chronic illness, pregnancy, and frequent visits require comprehensive histories unless acutely worsened.
Question 2 of 5
During a comprehensive health history, a client reports coming into the hospital because he 'feels like an elephant is sitting on his chest.' The nurse will document this information in which of the following sections?

Rationale: The Chief Complaint captures the primary reason for the visit in the patient’s words, like 'feels like an elephant is sitting on his chest,' indicating chest pain. Family History covers hereditary diseases, Past Medical History details prior health, and Present Illness elaborates on the complaint.
