should i use present tense or past tense for the history notes? it seems all the history notes are present tense in the CSA 40 cases. thanks.

in addition, for a headache patient, if i ask the headache severity in 1-10 scale. and the patient says 5-6. should i write in the history notes that it is a moderately severe headache or need to specify the headache scale is 5-6 in 1-10 scale? thanks.

doesn't matter. Write in point form as it is quicker. For pain, right what the patient says. 5-6/10

thanks a lot.
