OPQRST Assessment Tool

OPQRST is a mnemonic used in medical assessments to evaluate pain and symptoms.
Each letter corresponds to a specific question that helps gather detailed information regarding a patient's condition.

Breakdown of OPQRST Elements

O (Onset): Refers to the initiation of symptoms. Crucial to know when the pain or symptom started.
P (Provocation): Investigates factors that exacerbate or alleviate the symptoms. Understanding triggers helps in diagnosis.
Q (Quality): Encourages the patient to describe the nature of the pain. This could include terms like sharp, dull, throbbing, or burning.
R (Radiation): Assesses whether the pain spreads to other areas of the body, indicating broader health issues.
S (Severity): Measured on a scale from one to ten. Helps quantify the pain level and impact on daily activities.
T (Time): Involves understanding the duration of the symptoms. Important for tracking progression and treatment effectiveness.
