I am taking 188 foundation of physical assessment. We are doing the health history. Can someone tell me how to correctly do a history of present illness? I am so confused. Thank you

How can I write a paper from nursing journals? Where do I start? I have my topic, which is to write on one of the attribute of nursing, which I pick caring?

We were taught OLDCARTS:

Onset

Location

Duration

Character

Associated symptoms, Aggravating factors

Relieving factors

Treatments tried

also patient's perception, and here's another mnemonic from my book:

PQRTSU

Provocative/Palliative - what brings it on/makes it better

Quality/Quantity - describe

Region/Radiation - where is it? does it spread?

Severity Scale (1-10)

Timing - onset, duration

Understand patient perception
