When discussing a positive health history of fainting and dizziness, the medical examiner must ask questions and gather information regardingthe episode characteristics, frequency, factors leading to and surrounding an episode, and:
  1. Any missing or impaired body part (e.g., hand, finger, foot).
  2. Any other neurologic symptoms (e.g., headache, nausea, loss of consciousness, paresthesia).
  3. Any regular or frequent alcohol consumption.
  4. All of the above.
Explanation
Answer: B - Any other neurologic symptoms (e.g., headache, nausea, loss of consciousness, paresthesia).

This is the correct answer because a number of mental and physical conditions can result in frequent fainting and dizziness. Probing into neurologic symptoms will provide the medical examiner a better understanding of the causes of fainting and dizziness that the person is experiencing and subsequently conduct a further medical examination.
