Patient\'s History the Expanding Roles That Nurses
Introduction
The expanding roles that nurses play in the healthcare field include taking the health history of patients. There are many important components to the task of taking patient histories, and this paper reviews those important aspects and components that are published in the Nursing Standard article by Lloyd H. Craig.
Summary of The Article
Craig says taking the history of patients is "…arguably the most important aspect of patient assessment" (Craig, 2007, p. 42). The reason it is so vital to the practitioner (or doctor) is that every healthcare issue or concern that the patient has encountered in his or her past – recent or not – may have implications for how the patient is to be treated.
Nurses do not always see the patient in a doctor's office or a hospital patient room. The nurse might encounter patients in the following environments, according to Craig: a) in an accident scene or an emergency room; b) in a general hospital ward; c) in "department areas"; d) in "primary care centres"; e) in healthcare clinics; and f) in the patient's home (Craig, 42).
