gh, pleuritic chest pain, and skin lesions. When performing a health history, which question would be most valuable to assist with diagnosis?
1 answer:
Answer:
"have you been doing any work with soil lately?
Explanation:
According to my research on studies conducted by various medical professionals, I can say that based on the information provided within the question the most valuable question would be "have you been doing any work with soil lately?". This is because coccidioidomycosis is a disease that is caused by coming into contact with the fungus called Coccidioides immitis. If you breath in the spores it will infect you and cause chest pains, chills, fatigue, fever, or night sweats
, coughing, headache, shortness of breath, or weight loss and even rashes. Usually this goes away by itself, if not then you might need to take anti-fungal medication.
I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.
