A nurse obtains a medical history from a patient that is admitted to the emergency department, using the mnemonic AMPLE to gather:
B. Food allergies
C. Previous Medications
E. Tetanus vaccination
The nurse gathers information on the disease, the amount of time after the incident, the therapy given, the patient's reaction, and degree of consciousness during the secondary survey.
The acronym AMPLE reminds nurses to inquire about A, drug, food, latex, and environmental allergies; M, medication history; P, past health history, tetanus, and immunizations; L, last meal; and E, incidents or environmental factors that contributed to the illness.
Before assessing the health history at the beginning of the secondary survey, the nurse checks the patient's vital signs and blood pressure.
