Chapter 01: The Patient Interview
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb


MULTIPLE CHOICE bbbb




1. The respiratory care practitioner is conducting a patient interview. The main
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb


purpose of this interview is to:
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb


a. review data with the patient. bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb


b. gather subjective data from the patient. bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb


c. gather objective data from the patient. bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb


d. fill out the history form or checklist.
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb




ANS: B b b b b


The interview is a meeting between the respiratory care
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb practitioner and the
bbbb bbbb bbbb


patient. It allows the collection of subjective data
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb about the patient’s
bbbb bbbb bbbb


feelings regarding his/her condition. The history should
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbbbe done before the
bbbb bbbb bbbb


interview. Although data can be reviewed, that isnot
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb the primary purpose
bbbb bbbb


of the interview.
bbbb bbbb bbbb




2. For there to be a successful interview, the respiratory therapist must:
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb


a. provide leading questions to guide the patient. bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb


b. reassure the patient. bbbb bbbb


c. be an active listener. bbbb bbbb bbbb


d. use medical terminology to show knowledge of the subject matter.
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb




ANS: b b b b C
The personal qualities that a respUir at oSr y tNh e r aTp i s t m u Os t have to conduct a
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb


successful interview include being an active listener, having a genuine concern for the
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb


patient, and having empathy. Leading questions must be avoided. Reassurance may
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb


provide a false sense of comfort to
bbbb bbbb the
bbbb patient. bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb b b b b b b b b


Medical jargon can sound exclusionary and paternalistic to a patient.
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb

bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb

b. 2, 3 bbbb


c. 3, 4, 5 bbbb bbbb


d. 1, 2, 3, 4 bbbb bbbb bbbb




ANS: D b b b b


Age, chief complaint, present health, and family history are typically found on a
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb


health history form because each can impact the patient’s health. Health
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb


insurance provider information, while needed forbilling purposes, would not be
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb


found on the history form.
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb

, 4. External factors the respiratory care practitioner should make efforts to provide
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb

ANS: C b b b b


External factors, such as a good physical setting, enhance the interviewing process.
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb


Regardless of the interview setting (the patient’s bedside, a crowded emergency room,
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb


an office in the hospital or clinic, or the patient’s home), efforts should be made to
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb


(1) ensure privacy, (2) prevent interruptions, and (3) secure a comfortable physical
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb


environment (e.g., comfortable room temperature, sufficient lighting, absence of noise).
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb


An interviewer of either gender, who acts professionally, should be able to interview
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb


a patient of either gender.
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb

4 bbbb




ANS:

An open-ended question should be used to start the interview, introduce a new
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb


section of questions, and gather more information from a patient’s topic. Closed or
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb

a. 1, 4 bb b b


b. 2, 3 bbbb


c. 3, 4 bb b b


d. 1, 2, 3 bbbb bbbb




ANS: A b b b b


Direct or closed questions are best to gather specific information and speed up the
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb


interview. Open- ended questions are best suited to let the patient fully explain
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb


his/her situation and possibly help the respiratory therapist show empathy.
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb

, 7. During the interview the patient states, ―Every time I climb the stairs I have
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb


to stop to catch my breath.‖ Hearing this, the respiratory therapist replies,
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb


―So, it sounds like you get short of breath climbing stairs.‖ This
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb


interviewing technique is called:
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb


a. clarification.
b. modeling.
c. empathy.
d. reflection.
ANS: D b b b b


With reflection, part of the patient’s statement is repeated. This lets the patient know that
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb


what he/she said was heard. It also encourages the patient to elaborate on the
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb


topic.
bbbb


Clarification, modeling, and empathy are other communication techniques. bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb

ANS: C b b b b

bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb


pause (use silence) before asking the next question. This pause allows the patient to
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb


add something else before moving on. The patient may also choose to ask a
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb


question.

feeling, or statement made by the patient. This may prompt a further discussion.
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb


Reflection helps the patient focus on specific areas and continues in his/her own
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb


way. Facilitation encourages patients to say more, to continue with the story. The
bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb
