title: [A questioning method to guide the nursing clinical assessment].
abstract: Often minimised by patients, the symptoms they experience in the evolution of chronic diseases must be explored rigorously by healthcare professionals. The PQRST questioning method is a mnemonic tool which enables the nurse to cover the essential elements of the description of a symptom, thereby facilitating the clinical assessment.
