Module 1 Assignment: Taking a Health History: Building a Health History: Asking Difficult Questions

SOLUTION

The first step in the nursing process is taking the health history of the patient for further understanding of their reason behind visiting the hospital. It involves collecting important personal information from the patient which is used in clinical reasoning and decision making. It may involve asking the patient difficult questions which require appropriate communication skills and the application of appropriate professional competencies (Kruse et al., 2018).
