    The CC is a concise statement that describes the principal reason for the patient’s visit (Gurland, 2015). The physician records the CC in the patient’s own words, and the patient’s medical record should replicate the CC (CMS, 2014). The HPI is developed around the CC and is considered to be a description of the patient’s current ailment beginning with the initial symptoms of illness (CMS, 2014). The five elements that compose the HPI are location, quality, severity, duration, timing, context, alleviating or aggravating factors, and related signs and symptoms (CMS, 2014). Brief and extended are classified as the two types of HPIs. A brief HPI incorporates one to three elements of the HPI, while an extended HPI includes at least four components of the illness or an updated status of three chronic conditions (Miller, 2012). The ROS is collected by asking the patient various questions regarding signs and symptoms experienced in other body systems (Miller, 2012). The ROS is composed of three levels: problem pertinent, extended, and complete (Miller, 2012). The PFSH is also an important part of the history and includes all surgeries, injuries, illnesses, past and current social activities, and a review of family medical events that places the patient at risk in the future (CMS, 2014).…

This will be carried out while on placement within a hospital setting, within the planning stage I have to choose a patient and assist them with a nursing activity. I have chosen to follow Roper Logan and Tierney twelve activities of daily living the reason for this is that I find it to be the nursing model that is most effective as each activity has its own importance to the survival of life; also it follows the objectives of my graded unit. I have chosen the AL of eating and drinking as the patient I have chosen has severe Rheumatoid arthritis and has lost the use of her hands so she is unable to feed herself so my aim is to assist her whit this AL ”For a variety of reasons a patient may require assistance with the actual activity of eating and drinking, and this should be given graciously and with dexterity so that he will be protected from the needless embarrassment resulting from the lack of independence in this AL”(Roper Logan Tierney.p141).
