A nurse is conducting a health history interview with a client who has a chronic cough.

Which of the following questions should the nurse ask to elicit relevant information about the cough?

The nurse should ask open-ended questions that cover the characteristics, duration, frequency, severity, precipitating and relieving factors, associated symptoms, and impact of the cough on the client's health and quality of life.

Incorrect options:

A) "How long have you had this cough?" - This is a correct question, but it is not the only question that should be asked.

B) "What do you think is causing your cough?" - This is a correct question, but it is not the only question that should be asked.

C) "How does your cough affect your daily activities?" - This is a correct question, but it is not the only question that should be asked.

Rationale: The nurse should document all relevant and objective data obtained from the assessment, including vital signs, skin condition, bowel sounds, and any other findings that reflect the client's health status.

Incorrect options:

A) The client's vital signs are within normal limits. - This is a correct statement, but it is not the only information that should be documented.

B) The client's skin is warm, dry, and intact. - This is a correct statement, but it is not the only information that should be documented.

C) The client's bowel sounds are present in all four quadrants. - This is a correct statement, but it is not the only information that should be documented.
