HEALTH SCREENING 5.0.5.1
QID.
If you are using a
Tablet Computer
to complete this survey here are some tips.
The pen you are holding acts as a mouse and can be used for pointing and selecting answers.
Tap the screen to select an answer. Precision is more important than pressure, it is not necessary to strike hard. Practice a little on the this and the next page with some light taps. Try keeping the pen more vertical than you normally would when writing.
There are just a few places in this survey where you will need to write an answer. For these questions place the cursor in the answer box using the pen, then bring the pen close to the screen and tap on the little icon that appears when you do so. This will display a keyboard on which you can type your answer. Keep the pen close to the screen as you type.
Qpractice.
Every question must be answered before you can proceed to the next. If you need to go back to change an answer, the forward and back arrow buttons on your browser can be used. If you are not sure of an exact answer, please provide a best estimate. Where the question contains a table, please be aware that every row will require an answer.
Do not leave this machine unattended. Return it to the Nurse or Assistant when you have finished.
