details about the pain helps to determine the origin.

Do you have any abdominal pain?


important foundation to establish. If there are multiple symptoms,
follow up on each one during your interview.
Example Question:
Are you able to make a bowel movement?

Finding:
Asked about onset of the pain

Finding:
Reports a feeling of discomfort for the past five days
(Found)
Pro Tip: Whenever you are assessing a symptom or a health
condition, inquiring about onset assesses the severity and the
progression of the problem.

condition, inquiring about onset assesses the severity and the
progression of the problem.
