Question 8 • Introduction to Health Science - EL3601 B

Which items should a record contain? Select all that apply.

Answer
A
patient’s name
B
patient’s favorite colors
C
patient’s address
D
patient’s identification number
E
patient’s age
F
doctor’s diagnosis
G
doctor’s schedule
H
doctor’s orders

Explanation

A patient record should identify the patient and document relevant care. The patient’s name, address, identification number, and age help identify and describe the patient; the doctor’s diagnosis and orders document the medical assessment and planned treatment. Favorite colors and the doctor’s schedule are not standard patient-record information.
