Feedback:
The purpose of asking the client about his or her primary health concern is to discover what the client perceives as the health problem that needs treatment. Recording information in the client's own words is best. The nurse cannot determine if the client should see the physician today and if the client should not be denied treatment based on the insurance companies willingness to pay. The client can opt to pay for the visit themselves. Physicians do not generally give prescriptions any longer without seeing the clients.
