Nurses utilize various methods to identify the cause of health issues:
Patient History: A detailed history of the patient's symptoms, lifestyle, and family history is often the first step. Physical Examination: A thorough physical exam can provide clues about the underlying cause. Diagnostic Tests: Blood tests, imaging studies, and other diagnostic tests can help identify specific causes. Collaboration: Working with other healthcare professionals, such as physicians and specialists, can provide a more comprehensive understanding of the cause.
