A patient comes in with the complaint, My stomach hurts." Which of the following is the best next thing to ask or say to the patient to obtain an accurate and efficient history?"

Respuesta :

The best next thing to ask would be to clarify the nature of the pain. You could say, “Can you describe the pain? Is it sharp, dull, or cramping? And where exactly is it located in your stomach?” This helps narrow down potential causes and guides further questioning.
