History of the present illness
When or approximately when did it start? Did it begin gradually or suddenly? - If gradually, over what period of time? How long did it take to develop? Did anything cause or contribute to the onset? Have you ever had anything like this before? - If yes, did it feel the same? What was the outcome? Can you point to the exact location of your symptoms? - Describe Does it travel (radiate) to any other part of your body? - Describe Do you have symptoms in any other part of your body? Can you describe the sensation? (dull, sharp, burning, aching, gnawing, throbbing, shooting, constricting, other) How would you describe the intensity? (mild, moderate, severe, other; 1-10 scale) Has it been constant or does it come & go? (Constant, intermittent, episodic) Has it been getting better, worse, or staying the same? Have you found anything that makes it better? (rest, morning, evening, certain position, other) Have you found anything that makes it worse? (positions, activities, morning, evening, coughing, sneezing, straining, other) Has there been a change in any bodily functions? (urination, defecation, respiration, digestion, vision, sexual, other) Has it affected your daily activities in any way? Have you tried store bought or home remedies? - If yes, what was the effectiveness? Have you sought other professional care for this condition? Is there anything else you would like to discuss or that would be important for me to know? Getting Started: Always introduce yourself to the patient. Then try to make the environment as private and free of distractions as possible. This may be difficult depending on where the interview is taking place. The emergency room or a non-private patient room are notoriously difficult spots. Do the best that you can and feel free to be creative. If the room is crowded, it's OK to try and find alternate sites for the interview. It's also acceptable to politely ask visitors to leave so that you can have some privacy. If possible, sit down next to the patient while conducting the interview. Remove any physical barriers that stand between yourself and the interviewee (e.g. put down the side rail so that your view of one another is unimpeded... though make sure to put it back up at the conclusion of the interview). These simple maneuvers help to put you and the patient on equal footing. Furthermore, they enhance the notion that you are completely focused on them. You can either disarm or build walls through the speech, posture and body languarge that you adopt. Recognize the power of these cues and the impact that they can have on the interview. While there is no way of creating instant intimacy and rapport, paying attention to what may seem like rather small details as well as always showing kindness and respect can go a long way towards creating an environment that will facilitate the exchange of useful information. If the interview is being conducted in an outpatient setting, it is probably better to allow the patient to wear their own clothing while you chat with them. At the conclusion of your discussion, provide them with a gown and leave the room while they undress in preparation for the physical exam.

Physical examination
Together with the medical history, the physical examination aids in determining the correct diagnosis and devising the treatment plan. This data then becomes part of the medical record. Routine annual physicals Emergency Physical Examination How do you perform the examination in a way that is complete, makes sense and yet is not awkward or prolonged? Is it OK to mix together different areas of the exam or should each system be explored as a block? As I am sure you've already recognized, these and many other related questions are not easy to answer. Putting together a smooth exam is, in fact, quite challenging. There is no single right way to perform a complete physical. The goal is to generate a method that works for you. Any technique, however, should:
