In general, a medical history includes an inquiry into the patient's medical history, past surgical history, family medical history, social history, allergies, and medications the patient is taking or may have recently stopped taking.

Greet the patient by name and introduce yourself. Ask, “What brings you in today?” and get information about the presenting complaint. Collect past medical and surgical history, including any allergies and any medications they're currently taking. Ask the patient about their family history.

North Carolina's medical records laws hold all privileged patient medical records as confidential, available to pharmacists when necessary. In cases where a medical professional suspects child abuse, however, that person is required to report these findings to law enforcement.
