I am practicing for the CS exam and had a question....

If it is given that a pt. is a known case of Sickle Cell Anemia......can we mention it in the past history or must the sp mention it only....

What I am asking is in my questioning of past history can I say "Mrs.XYZ I see here that you have been diagnosed with Sickle Cell Anemia......"

Please let me know as I am practicing and my exam is just around the corner...

thanx

hi I think if they have already given that pt has sickle cell anemia.then either she is presenting w/ one of the complications of it. so you have to ask in past history about the same compliant she is having at present.i.e whether she had similar problem in the past?
and also ask past medical history of any other dis other than sickle cell.
and previous hospitalizations.
I hope iam right!
