The point here is to get you thinking of data to collect, because that's how I think, so that's how I'm thinking about it. Each of these questions potentially decreases the search space you have to consider. If you're not sure, skip that question for now and collect the information at your leisure. If one question is obviously "well yes of course", remember that "of course" is an human invention, and means nothing whatsoever in the field of medicine, no matter how much doctors may wish it was otherwise sometimes.
