Step-by-step explanation:

When using the mnemonic OPQRST-ASPN to gain the history of the present illness of your gastrointestinal patient, the AS stands for Associated Symptoms, and the PN stands for Provoking/Relieving Factors.

The mnemonic OPQRST-ASPN is used to help healthcare providers gather relevant information about a patient's gastrointestinal symptoms.

The PN portion stands for Provoking/Relieving Factors, which are activities or factors that either worsen or alleviate the symptoms.
