How to use SAMPLE history as an effective patient assessment tool

SAMPLE, a mnemonic or memory device, is used to gather essential patient history information to diagnose the patient’s complaint and make treatment decisions. Like OPQRST, asking these SAMPLE questions is the start of a conversation between you, the investigator, and the patient, your research subject.
SAMPLE stands for:
Signs and symptoms
Allergies
Medications
Pertinent medical history
Last ins and outs
Events
