Hi,
If the HPI states:
Patient experiencing throat pain since last night. Taking ibuprofen. No vomiting, no diarrhea.
ROS
Eyes: negative
Respiratory: negative
Gastrointestinal: negative
Skin: negative
can the phrase "no vomiting, no diarrhea" count towards the element "associated signs/symptoms"? I have an audit sheet that says associated signs/symptoms can be positive or negative. I find it odd, though, since the negative findings are more of a review of systems.
Any guidance is appreciated![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
