Which section of the hard copy medical record contains a copy of the service member's 2992 form?

• A. Section 4
• B. Section 1
• C. Section 3
• D. Section 2

Answer: (C)

A service member’s 2992 form is a record of prior medical history, so it belongs with the patient’s historical health information in the medical record. In this layout, Section 3 is the section designated for storing the member’s medical history and prior documentation, which is why a copy of the 2992 form is placed there. It wouldn’t be in the administrative/identification area, or in sections that contain current encounter notes or other non-history data. Keeping the history documents together in Section 3 helps clinicians review past conditions quickly during evaluations.
