SAMPLE history is an mnemonic acronym to remember key questions for a person's assessment. The SAMPLE history is usually taken along with vital signs. It is used for alert people, but often much of this information can also be obtained from the family of an unresponsive person. A derivative of SAMPLE history is AMPLE history which has more central focus on a person's medical history.
