Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Asking "Why are you seeking help at this time?" would provide a better understanding of the patient's concerns and reasons for seeking evaluation, which can help guide further questioning and evaluation. Simply asking for basic information like name, referral, or current location may not provide enough information to begin the diagnostic process.
