False
True
The chief complaint is indeed the term used to describe the main reason a patient is seeking medical care. It is essential to record this information accurately as it guides the healthcare provider in the clinical assessment and determines the focus of the medical visit. Recording it in the patient's own words helps to avoid misunderstanding and preserves the subjective nature of the symptom(s) or concern(s) expressed by the patient.
