The correct answer is true. If the patient is a known case of a specific illness, then the management will be tailored to (1) the chief complaint of the patient, and (2) the past medical history of the patient. For instance, if a patient is a known case of chronic kidney disease now presenting with acute watery diarrhea, then the doctor should know that the fluid resuscitation for this patient should not be vigorous.
