The company I work for, (since 2000), had an intake form that asked about guns in the home. Since we've gone to an electronic health record in 2009, I don't believe it's a question my nurses ask patients now. When we did ask on the form, I never had anyone say they weren't going to answer or said much about it. I could never really figure out what it had to do with their health care and I really thought and do think that questions are irrelevant. Me knowing that someone has guns doesn't help me take care of them. I don't need to waste my time getting info that doesn't help me do my job.
