Answer: C - History of a patient’s condition since their previous visit

A patient’s interim history refers to the history of the patient’s condition since their previous visit. During a follow-up consultation, it is important to ask whether a patient’s condition has improved or worsened since the previous visit. This is done to determine if the treatment given to the patient has been effective or not. It is also important to ask a patient whether or not they have been properly using prescribed medications.
