When taking a family history, all of the following should be included except

mother-in-law.
grandmother.
sister.
son.

Explanation

Answer: A - mother-in-law.

A patient’s mother-in-law should not be included in a patient’s family history because there is no genetic link between a patient and their in-laws. Moreover, it is also not necessary to ask about a spouse’s medical history. Grandmothers, sisters, and sons all share genetic links with the patient and should therefore be included in a family history.
