Question

which question would the medical assistant ask first if a patient thinks they have a bladder infection?
“is there any blood in your urine?”
“have you had any fever or chills?”
“how often do you feel the need to urinate?”
“why do you think you have a bladder infection?”

Explanation:

Blood in urine, fever/chills are secondary symptoms. Asking why a patient thinks they have an infection is too open - ended. Frequency of urination is a key and early - presenting symptom of bladder infection.

Answer:

"How often do you feel the need to urinate?"
