Mr. Q. is a 45-year-old salesman who comes to your office for evaluation of fatigue. He has
come to the office many times in the past with a variety of injuries, and you suspect that he has a
problem with alcohol. Which one of the following questions will be most helpful in diagnosing
this problem?
You are an alcoholic, aren't you?
When was your last drink?
Do you drink 2 to 3 beers every weekend?
Do you drink alcohol when you are supposed to be working? - Answer>>> When was your last
drink?
This is a good opening question that is general and neutral in tone; depending on the timing, you
will be able to ask for more specific information related to the patient's last drink. The others will
tend to stifle the conversation because they are closed-ended questions. Answer D implies
negative behavior and may also keep the person from sharing freely with you.

sensation is located in the right temporal region and is an 8 on a scale of 1 to 10. It started a few
hours ago, and she has noted nausea with sensitivity to light; she has had headaches like this in
the past, usually less than one per week, but not as severe. She does not know of any inciting
factors. There has been no change in the frequency of her headaches. She usually takes an over-

arrive at the most likely conclusion.
