I answered that I would mark the "yes" box. Reason: if they are unable to give a definitive "no," then one would have to consider the possibility that they have +PMH of sz. To be entirely accurate, I would put a question mark in the "Yes" box, and under "comments" clarify that the pt. and/or family is unclear of pmh of seizures. That would put it in the ERP's lap to sort out.

Well they said, "Yes but no". Then with further explanation, again said "I think so". There just was no way of clarifcation......and if it helps make your decision or answer to this easier.....he was not on anything remotely close for the TX of seizures.

You need another box stating-pt. is poor historian!
