title: The occupational and environmental health history: guidelines for the primary care nurse practitioner.
abstract: The occupational and environmental health histories are often a neglected part of the patient evaluation in the primary care setting. Nurse practitioners (NPs) are in an important position to elicit information related to exposures that can affect patient health. This article offers data on basic concepts related to occupational and environmental medicine, and advises NPs on various approaches to obtaining an exposure history.
