Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
A common cause of nonpleuritic chest pain is angina, which classically is a pressure sensation with exertion or stress and results from coronary artery occlusion.

The next step is to review the patient's past medical history, which describes all past major ill-nesses, injuries, surgeries, hospitalizations, allergies, and health-related habits.
