An elderly client with Parkinson's disease and his wife, who appears to be much younger than he, are being interviewed by the nu
rse to update the client's health history. The nurse also has the client's electronic health record on her tablet computer. Earlier in the day, the nurse had spoken with the client's primary care physician, who has relayed some concerns to the nurse regarding the progression of the client's disease. Which source of biographical information should the nurse view as primary?
We can consider that primary information is nothing more than the source of the information, ie the exact place where all other necessary information will be taken. Based on this, we can state that if the nurse wants to update the client's health history, she will have to look for the client's necessary information, because she is the one who knows the new data that needs to enter her health history. With this, we can conclude that the customer represents the primary information, as it will be the source of all necessary information.
