Demonstrate the technique for completing and updating the health history
What will be an ideal response?
The medical history form used by the dental auxiliary to obtain and update a patient’s health history should contain “yes or no” type questions and have space for follow-up questions. The form should be available in different languages to accommodate non-English speaking patients, and the dental auxiliary or receptionist should be available to assist patients with the form. Upon reviewing the form, the dental auxiliary should follow up with questions pertaining to positive results or conflicting answers. All medical conditions should be reported to the treating dentist, and those conditions that may result in a potential emergency event should be noted. Also, the dental auxiliary should specifically call attention to potential side effects of a patient’s medications and the medical conditions for which the medications are prescribed. While completing and updating the health history, it is important for the dental auxiliary to maintain a professional and caring manner.
