Option 1: Patient History
Option 2: Medication Log
Option 3: Allergies and Adverse Reactions
Option 4: Physical Examination

Answer 1

The statement from the doctor should be documented in the Physical Examination section of the Electronic Medical Record (EMR).

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement from the doctor should be documented in the Physical Examination section of the Electronic Medical Record (EMR). The physical examination section is used to record the findings from the doctor's assessment of the patient's body systems, including the abdomen. It provides a comprehensive overview of the patient's physical health and helps to track any changes or abnormalities.
