Other Members Of The Health Care Team And Any Limits To The Confidentiality.

Silence Permits The Interviewee To Sort Out Thoughts And Feelings And Search For Responses To
Questions. To Be Effective, The Nurse Must Be Able To Direct The Focus Of The Interview While
Allowing Maximum Freedom Of Expression. By Using Open-Ended Questions And Guiding Questions,
The Nurse Can Obtain The Necessary Information And Maintain A Relationship With The Family. The
Nurse And Parent Must Collaborate And Define The Problem That Will Be The Focus Of The Nursing
Intervention.
