Scoring
These are single items only. Score No="0", Yes="1", Don't know=blank. You may code the names of the medications if you wish to track them, but they are mainly used to correct scoring, i.e., "hydrochlorothiazide" under cholesterol medications should be coded instead under hypertension medications.
