Which piece of information obtained during a client's health history would be classified as biographical information?

• A. Age
• B. Height
• C. Blood pressure
• D. Allergies

Answer: (A)

Biographical information consists of identifying details about the patient that describe who they are rather than their health status. It includes demographic data used for record-keeping and identification, such as age, name, address, and contact information. In this set, age is the only demographic detail, while height is a physical measurement, blood pressure is a vital sign, and allergies are part of medical history. So age is the biographical item.
