pain for 1 week. The pain lasts for 30 minutes at a time; it comes and goes. The severity is 7 to

epigastric area.”

Page and Header: 6, The Comprehensive Adult Health History
Feedback: This information describes the problem of abdominal pain, which is the present
illness. The interviewer has obtained the location, timing, severity, and associated
manifestations of the pain. The interviewer will still need to obtain information concerning the
quality of the pain, the setting in which it occurred, and the factors that aggravate and alleviate
the pain. You will notice that it does include portions of the pertinent review of systems, but
because it relates directly to the complaint, it is included in the history of present illness.
