Health history
ОглавлениеIt is important that a good history be taken before the initiation of treatment to determine if any special precautions are necessary. Some elective treatments might be canceled or postponed because of the patient’s physical or emotional health. It may be necessary to premedicate patients with certain conditions or to avoid medication for others.
It is not within the scope of this book to describe all the conditions that might influence patient treatment. However, there are some whose frequency or threat to the patient’s or office staff’s well-being is significant enough to merit discussion. A history of infectious diseases, such as serum hepatitis, tuberculosis, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/AIDS, must be known so that protection can be provided for other patients as well as office personnel. There are numerous conditions of a noninfectious nature that also can be important to the patient’s well-being.
