Assignment:

1. Location. This refers to the specific area of the body where the symptom is located. Locating the symptom is the first step in determining the cause of the patient's disease. The patient may refer to the location in general terms such as the head, arm, stomach, or back. The medical assistant must be more specific than this and determine the exact location using descriptions, such as "occurs in the lower back" or

"Occurs under the sternum." Several questions can assist in accomplishing this.

• Where exactly does it hurt?

• Can you show me where it hurts?

• Do you feel it anywhere else?
