Patient history
Without a sound patient history, a solid diagnosis cannot be made. Therefore, taking a detailed patient history is the most extensive component of arpadi®.

Specifically, it comprises the following areas:
• Clarification of the patient's identity
• Complaints
• General patient history
• Preexisting conditions

The following examples from the formulation catalog show how helpful arpadi® is for taking a patient history.

"Where are your symptoms?"
"Are you in pain?"
"Does it radiate?"
"To where?"
"Please show me."
"Does it come on suddenly?"
"Is it continuous?"
"Does it recur?"
"Do you take medications on a regular basis?"
"Which?"
"Could you be pregnant?"
"Have you spent time in tropical regions?
"Where?"
and so on.
