Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The history for a new patient can be divided into the chief complaint, or primary concern, history of the present illness (HPI), past medical history (PMH), review of symptoms (ROS), family history (FH), and social and environmental histories. The history for a follow-up or for an established patient can be modified to include an interim health history and a review of key components of the PMH, ROS, and social and environmental histories. An occupational history is inappropriate for a pediatric patient.
