1a) What is the patient’s medication history, including any current medications, past medications, and allergies? 1b) Asking about medication history is crucial in understanding the patient’s overall health status and any potential interactions or contraindications with the medications they may receive during hospitalization. Knowing the patient’s medication history can also help identify any underlying medical conditions that require ongoing medication management, such as diabetes, hypertension, or chronic pain. 1c) The first additional question about medication history may reveal any contraindications or interactions with medications the patient may receive during hospitalization, ensuring safe and effective care.
