Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The medical history of a patient who complains of cough should be comprehensive, with a particular focus on the potential for asthma, COPD, chronic or acute bronchitis, heart failure, GERD, or recent upper or lower respiratory infections. The medication history should be elicited, particularly if the patient is taking an ACE inhibitor which has the potential to induce cough. The patient's prior self-treatment or prescribed treatment of cough should be explored, including the response and tolerance of the treatment.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The history is an important aspect of asthma because the frequency of various symptoms, nighttime awakenings, use of a short-acting beta agonist, and interference with activities are used, along with spirometry, in staging asthma.
