Taking a patient history
LISTEN to the conversation between the nurse, Shona, and the patient, Mrs Chad:
Shona: Right. Let’s get started. Would you mind if I check out some details first?
Mrs Chad: No, not at all. What would you like to know?
Shona: I’d just like to check your name and date of birth, and see if your identity bracelet is
correct. Can you tell me your full name, please?
Mrs Chad: Yes, it’s Doreen Mary Chad, and my date of birth is 5th June, 1923. Quite a while
ago, isn’t it?
Shona: Not so long ago. Time goes very fast when you’re busy, doesn’t it? Right now, let’s
see. Doreen Mary Chad. C – H – A – D. That’s correct, isn’t it?
Mrs Chad: Yes, that’s right. Chad with a ‘D’.
Shona: And your date of birth is 5th June, 1923.
Mrs Chad: Yes.
Shona: Alright. Can you tell me why you’re here today?
Mrs Chad: Well, um, I’ve got high blood pressure, and I’m here for some tests. My doctor
asked me to come here to see what’s going on.
Shona: OK. Now I’d like to ask you about your past medical history. Have you had any serious
illnesses in the past?
Mrs Chad: Yes. I had a mild heart attack last year. It was quite frightening.
Shona: Yes, I’m sure it was. Now, er, what about past surgical history? Have you ever had
any operations?
Mrs Chad: No, I’m very lucky. I never have.
Shona: That is lucky. Now, are you taking any medications at the moment?
Mrs Chad: Yes. My doctor put me on some blood pressure tablets after my heart attack.
Shona: Do you know what they’re called?
Mrs Chad: I don’t know, but I’ve got them here with me. I was told to bring them.
Shona: Mm. That’s good. Do you think you can show them to me please?
Mrs Chad: Yes, I can. I’ve got them somewhere in my bag. Here they are. I take them in the
morning with breakfast.
Shona: Right, that’s fine. You’re taking metaprolol to lower your blood pressure. I’ll just write
down the name of the medication on the admission form. Metaprolol. Do you have any
allergies to any medications?
Mrs Chad: Not that I know of.
Shona: Um. What about food allergies? Any food which doesn’t agree with you?
Mrs Chad: No, no, nothing like that.
Shona: Good. Are you allergic to sticking plaster or iodine?
Mrs Chad: No. I’ve never had any problems before.
Shona: Alright. Can you tell me the name of your next of kin?
Mrs Chad: It’s my son, Jeremy. Jeremy Chad.
Shona: Thanks. That’s all for me. I’ll leave you here for a minute while I get the admitting
doctor to come and see you. Are you comfortable?
Mrs Chad: Yes, thanks. I’m quite alright here.
