It is important to determine if the patient is pregnant or could be pregnant, so asking about their last normal period can help assess this. This information can also help with ruling out other possible causes of the abdominal pain such as ectopic pregnancy or ovarian cysts. The other questions may also be important to ask, but determining if the patient is pregnant or could be pregnant should be the first priority.
