CHAPTER 1
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. The Respiratory Care Practitioner Is Conducting A Patient Interview. The Main Purpose Of
This Interview Is To:
a. Review Data With The Patient.
b. Gather Subjective Data From The Patient.
c. Gather Objective Data From The Patient.
d. Fill Out The History Form Or Checklist.

The Interview Is A Meeting Between The Respiratory Care Practitioner And The Patient. It Allows
The Collection Of Subjective Data About The Patient’s Feelings Regarding His/Her
Condition. The History Should Be Done Before The Interview. Although Data Can Be

2. For There To Be A Successful Interview, The Respiratory Therapist Must:
a. Provide Leading Questions To Guide The Patient.
b. Reassure The Patient.
c. Be An Active Listener.

ANSW E R:C
The Personal Qualities That A Respiratory Therapist Must Have To Conduct A Successful Interview
Include Being An Active Listener, Having A Genuine Concern For The Patient, And Having
Empathy. Leading Questions Must Be Avoided. Reassurance May Provide A False Sense Of
Comfort To The Patient. Medical Jargon Can Sound Exclusionary And Paternalistic To A Patient.
3. Which Of The Following Would Be Found On A History Form?
1. Age
2. Chief Complaint
3. Present Health
4. Family History
5. Health Insurance Provider
