Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The reason for seeking care is a brief spontaneous statement in the person's own words that describes the reason for the visit. It states one (possibly two) signs or symptoms and their duration. It is enclosed in quotation marks to indicate the person's exact words.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A reliable person always gives the same answers, even when questions are rephrased or are repeated later in the interview. The other statements are not correct.
