Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Biographic data, such as when the person entered the United States and from what country, are appropriate additions to the health history. The other answers do not reflect appropriate questions. When a patient is a new immigrant several biographic questions should be added to the health history. Why the person came to the United States, what made him/her leave his/her native country, and when he/she is planning to return are not necessary and do not provide any biographic data.
