Describe how you have personally experienced the history of present illness during an E/M service visit (a visit to the physician's office, the ER, accompanying a child or parent during a visit to the physician.) Did you describe the HPI, if so how? Have you experienced the absence of any HPI questions? How did this impact your experience of the E/M service visit?
What will be an ideal response?

The student's long answer should also include:
? Whether the student has experienced a visit when the HPI was NOT addressed
? How the absence of the HPI impacted the student's experience of the E/M service, especially the quality of care received.
